Cross Art Form

Sometimes the Sky’s Too Bright

Each workshop is run by a team of two different visual artists, musicians, performance poets and an actor, comprising a team of fourteen Welsh and Wales-based artists. The team of artists includes Huw Aaron, whose cartoons regularly tickle the pages of Private Eye and Reader’s Digest, Martin Daws, an electrifying poet who’s also the current People’s Laureate of Wales and Rufus Mufasa, bilingual rapper, MC, singer songwriter, spoken-word poet, comedy writer and performer.

The team of artists varies, making the content of each workshop and the work produced by the students original and unique. Dylan Thomas’ themes and texts are used as a starting point. The pupils then engage with these through media of self-expression including visual art, creative writing, voice recording, music and animation, depending on the team leading the workshop. To get an idea of what’s been produced during the workshops you check our Flickr.

The cross art-form workshops are closed sessions and are available free of charge for a limited amount of pre-selected in academic year. There are still sessions available so if you think your class is eligible, please do get in touch by clicking on the contacts page above.

The pupils produced some really creative animations and we were delighted with the pupil response. The whole concept of the workshop is excellent and and has helped pupils with varying abilities engage with challenging subject matter with immediate and creative results!” – Hannah Penny, Art Department, Stanwell School
