We are so pleased to announce our new Associate Deaf Artist for 2013-14 made possible with funding from the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation. Gareth is a versatile theatre performer, with a strong physical style informed by his deafness. He has appeared in three showcases as part of his studies at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and has had an enviable career in mainstream theatre in the short time since he left. He has puppetry, dance and mime skills, speaks Welsh and English, and his first language is BSL. He’ll be with us for some rehearsals, some performances on the road, and he’ll be visiting the office for a few training days. If you see him, do say “Yachi Dah”…
