WAPA and Creu Cymru to strengthen working relationship

Chris Ryde | September 3, 2009 | 0 Comments

WAPA and the agency which co-ordinates touring and represents the venues, Creu Cymru, are meeting again this autumn to build on the useful work begun at the joint conference held late last year. It is hoped another, similar, event will be held this December. Both organisations are waiting on the publication of the Audiences Wales research commissioned by the Arts Council into drama audiences. It is anticipated that there will be implications in the recommendations of that report for both groups and the proposed event will use these as a springboard for further joint initiatives.

Special One Day Conference

Chris Ryde | January 13, 2009 | 0 Comments

WAPA is hosting a special One Day Conference on Februray 25th at the Elan Valley Lodge. The two guest speakers will be John McGrath, the new AD of the National Theatre of Wales, and Nick Capaldi, the Chief Executive of the Arts Council. Neither speaker has had the opportunity of meeting the WAPA membership since they took up office and therefore it will give all parties the opportunity to meet and discuss important policy matters in an informal atmosphere.
