Looking forward to welcoming primary schools to the University of South Wales over the next three days for our theatre production, A Seaside Adventure. A bit of summer sunshine on cold days! 😊 @UniSouthWales #childrenstheatre #cardiff #ASeasideAdventure

It was so great to welcome our new Theatre and Drama students to the University of South Wales. I enjoyed getting to know them in drama workshops and on a walk through Bute Park!

Excellent session this morning on inclusivity at the #essentialnotoptional joint conference of DramaHE, MusicHE, DanceHE & NAFAE. Presentations by Zoë Glen, Louisa Petts and Beth Black have been the real highlight of the conference for me. @zoeelglen @UoLCreativeArts @DramaHE_UK

Well done @AvantCymru for the excellent A Midsummer Night's Dream in Treorchy yesterday. One of my favourite plays and I really enjoyed it.

So enjoyed Penarth Operatic and Dramatic Society's production of Chess. Super impressed by the outstanding performances and the excellent direction, production and design overall. Really moved by the whole experience. @PODSPENARTH #ChessTheMusical

An education that emphasises interpersonal skills, independent thinking, empathy and creativity wouldn’t feel threatened by Ai. If a bot can do the written work we’re educating in the wrong way.

It is a rare feeling of wonderment and exhilaration that one has when reading truly superb writing. This is how I felt reading Négar Djavadi's novel, 'Disoriental' (Tr. Tina Kover). It has made me laugh and cry, and feel and think so many things so deeply. @NegarDjav @tinakover
