Revolution in National Theatre Wales
Watch the talk
Revolution I think doesn’t happen through generalised sentiment it usually happens because people are riled up about something very specific that’s happening in their communities.
It was about connections between people that didn’t know each other, it was about why things mean something and matter to us and it was about a very simple but still important message that even reading can be resisting.
Absolutely crucial for us as a company and for a national company is a strong sense of the local.
Arts organisations often do exploit communities, sometimes in quite a knowing way.
