Fow

Fow

Online

Lissa is defensive, deaf and failing university – the last thing she needs right now is to fall in love. Siôn is a wide-eyed Pontardawe boy with rock-star dreams, desperately in love and about to have his heart broken. And Josh... Josh just wants to beat the end of level Boss. With humour, honesty and a lot of breakdowns in communication, Fow asks us how we fall in love when we don't hear each other and finds there is always a way if you just look hard enough. A heart-warming love story told in different languages.

Catch the Bird Who Won’t Fly

Online

Catch the Bird Who Won't Fly is a digital dance-theatre piece made during the Covid lockdowns by working remotely with artists to bring attention to the devastating reality of a crime, which increased during lockdown and is often shrouded in secrecy – domestic violence against women. Using animation and green screen technology, four individual stories are told through Kathak dance from real-life experiences that were researched with the company's network of women's group users.

A wire apart

A Wire Apart

Online

Does instant connectivity help our attempts to make meaningful relationships with our surroundings and our fellow humans? Or does it reinforce feelings of isolation and inadequacy as we reflect upon and react to connections made and lost? A dynamic exploration of the ways in which modern methods of communications affect us all, using dance, physicality, aerial acrobatics, tight-wire walking and original music. A modern love story set in our digitally connected world. Distanced by a world of wires, two lost individuals work on finding each other, but in doing so must first find themselves.

Will Pickvance Plays Piano

Secret Courtyard

Something special happens when you play piano for yourself at home. No particular piece in mind, no need to start at the beginning or get to the finish, no rules. I want to play for you like I do at home, with all the distractions, all the indulgence, all the fun. Join me in the moment for an intimate piano concert of improvisations and conversations at Summerhall's bespoke outdoor concert hall.
