Making great strides

Hoorahs and congratulations to Aimee and Vanessa who made it all the way to London with their hobby horses on Wednesday August 3rd! Phil and Sue joined the welcome group who met up with the intrepid pair at a pub in Shepherds Bush to celebrate the overwhelmingly successful venture with some glasses of bubbly substance. Sue and Phil then brought Aimee back to Wales the following morning and were regaled with many stories…..but we won’t give anything away here. You’ll be able to find out all about it at an official exhibition and display at the Wyeside in October. Meanwhile, and certainly not resting on their laurels for a moment, Aimee and Vanessa are running theatre workshops for children at the Wyeside Arts Centre all this week.

It’s also very exciting that Mid Powys Youth Theatre have already started preparing their performance piece for the Hiraeth - Spirit of Place project. Kristen Treen and Rhiannon Ashcroft have written a new play “Navigating on Light” which MPYT are now working on for the Spirit of Place weekend later in the month, when they will join up with other local youth groups here at the Willow Globe to begin devising a performance for the cultural Olympiad in 2012. You’ll also be able to see the first fruits of this weekend at the Wyeside Arts Centre in October, as part of Powys Arts Month.
