Cultural Collaborations during this Crisis.

Theatr Brycheiniog Team available for volunteer work. Cultural Collaborations during this Crisis.

The theatre staff at Theatr Brycheiniog have all been furloughed to allow the Company, as much as it can, to mitigate the impact of the pandemic. During this time, we are aware of a number of colleagues, artists, freelancers, smaller companies and project-based professionals who would like support and whilst we cannot work for Brycheiniog we certainly want to offer help. 

Amongst the Theatr staff are a range of people with a variety of skills, backgrounds and expertise. If you have a project, funding application, leaflet, website or budget to work on, we’re sure we can assist. Although we are currently furloughed, our creative brains are still ticking! We have been thinking of innovative ways to help our industry in this current crisis. Whatever role you hold in the arts industry, we want to work with you and offer our support.

We can offer help and advice on:
Finance and funding planning
Application advice and planning
Budget and cashflow forecasting
Consulting on irish paysafecard payment on gaming platforms
Design & photography
Website and media creation, design and broadcast
General information on theatre/performance, possible continuous liaison with young people/schools
Technical information, performance specifications, and project planning
Proof-reading and number checking
