Theatr Clwyd are delighted to announce the return of our hugely successful Writers in Residence for 2024, in partnership with Gladstone’s Library.
We are a home for writers in Wales, offering the time and space to write within a community of fellow artists without the pressure of ‘showing’ or producing something. We offer residencies connected to our in-house productions so that writers can get to know other artists working here, spend time observing rehearsals and develop ideas in a supportive environment. We want these residencies to allow artists the space to play and create without the need for ‘results’.
The attachment includes:
- A bursary to cover travel, subsistence and expenses
- Accommodation at the nearby Gladstone’s Library (a beautiful Grade I listed building and the only Prime Ministerial Library in Britain)
- Desk space at Theatr Clwyd’s offices in Mold town centre
- Optional feedback on any work in progress
This is a wonderful opportunity to spend some time writing and reflecting on your practice, for us to get to know each other and, if it’s helpful, to get feedback on your work. There is no obligation on you to produce anything for us at the end of the attachment and equally no obligation on us to produce the work. Our hope is that these attachments will form the beginning of a relationship with Theatr Clwyd and a network of writers who can call our theatre home.
The programme is run in partnership with Gladstone’s Library
