Boulevard of Broken Dreams – Taliesin Arts Centre
Boulevard of Broken Dreams comes to Taliesin, Swansea on Thursday 12th February (7.30pm) opening a UK World Premiere tour. In this unique collaboration, two leading artistes in the fields of music and dance explore unpredictable encounters as different cultural influences merge with explosive and inspirational effect.
Jean Abreu is currently one of Britain’s most eagerly watched choreographers and performers. Currently based in London, he combines western contemporary movement with cultural traditions of Latin dance and capoeira from his native Brazil. Cardiff based composer Charlie Barber has a deserved reputation for combining musical influences from a variety of genres. Together they have created this stunning and insightful performance in which two quartets compete and converge on stage in a striking portrayal of the urban condition.
Four dancers, including Jean Abreu, are joined live on stage by the Cardiff based; Mavron String Quartet who will perform Barber’s original work. Charlie Barber is known for his passion to bring together musical genres and in this new piece, he combines Latin influences, world beats and live music with interweaved, electronically generated soundscapes.
Boulevard of Broken Dreams: The title has been widely used within art, literature, film and music, from Gottfried Heiman’s variation of the Edward Hopper painting (Nighthawk) to songs by Marianne Faithful and Green Day. Now John Abreu gives us his version.

Tickets are now on sale for Shropshire Drama Company’s (SDC) next production – Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge at two new venues for SDC – Concord College, near Shrewsbury and Ellesmere College in north Shropshire.
Set in 1955 Brooklyn, the story centres on an Italian-American family – Eddie Carbone, a longshoreman working on the dockscin Red Hook, his wife Beatrice and their niece Catherine. When Beatrice’s impoverished Sicillian cousins come to stay, having entered the US illegally in the hope of finding work, the family unit is disturbed and ultimately torn apart.

The Bells of Shoreditch by Dirty Protest at The Sherman Theatre, Cardiff
15 January 2009 – 16 January 2009
Dirty Protest
By Tim Price
Paul has been suffering from anxiety attacks. He can’t stop himself throwing his property over bridges. He goes to work with no shoes. He’s a man falling apart. So he puts an advert in the newspaper for a bedmate. Someone to sleep, to help him through the night. We follow Paul on his journey through London, with the loneliest people he can find.
With the support of Sherman Cymru and the Arts Council of Wales, Dirty Protest have workshopped this full-length play. Seeking to fill the vacuum between rehearsed readings and full scale productions, they hope this development production will be the first of many.
Buy tickets now, and avoid the queue….it means you can spend more time at the bar

TwitPanto Performance on Twitter brings the house down.
I wrote a brief piece about this to try and help promote the idea. But the phenomenon of twitter created a huge following for what’s turned out to be a fantastic achievement for Jon Bounds and the rest of the #twitpanto team with their fabulous panto performed in the wacky world of twitter.com
If you’re wondering what happened, what people said, and what all the fuss was about, then I recommend you take a look at a great website by Matthew Somerville where he’s done some fantastic scripting to hack through all the tweets and bring you the whole ‘performance‘.
