Make it! A brand new network, commissioning and touring model led by and for emerging artists in Rhondda Cynon Taff (RCT).

Make it! is a new model of theatre making. It is an emerging artist-led network that seeks to connect up-and-coming performance creatives aged 18 – 29 in RCT with each other. Make it! also aims to innovate the way performance is commissioned, made and toured.

The project runs for 18 months from July 2021 – February 2023 and is funded by the Arts Council of Wales ‘Connect & Flourish’ second round funding stream. Emerging artists will commission and create their own artistic practice, produce performance themselves, then tour the work to venues and community spaces across RCT and beyond.

Make it! was an urgent call from emerging artists – Covid 19 and ‘Lockdown’ saw everything come to a halt for graduates and early career artists, especially those from disadvantaged areas. Through Sparc, Valleys Kids an emerging artist group met to address this problem. They shared their individual manifestos’ for change in open meetings with freelancers and organisations who rallied to support them. Out of this the partnership was born.

The Partners 

Leading the process are Hannah Lad, Ryan Stead and Kyle Stead from Off Ya Trolley Productions with Kiara Sullivan an applied drama practitioner from UWTSD recently joined by theatre-maker Yasmin Williams.

Local freelancers Ian McAndrew and Matteo Marfoglia who has worked with emerging artists in Italy as well as Wales.

Companies in RCT include Citrus Arts, Leeway Productions, Afon Dance, Artis Community, Spectacle Theatre, RCT theatre’s and Sparc, Valleys Kids alongside Interlink – the umbrella company for the voluntary sector in RCT, Dirty Protest who support new writing and Wales Millennium Centre, creative learning team.

Any emerging artists living or working in RCT aged 18-29 are welcome to get involved with Make it! at any time, as members of the partnership.

Gwnewch e! Rhwydwaith newydd sbon, model comisiynu a theithio dan arweiniad ac ar gyfer artistiaid addawol yn Rhondda Cynon Taf (RhCT).

Mae Gwnewch e! yn fodel newydd o wneud theatr. Mae’n rhwydwaith sy’n cael ei arwain gan artistiaid addawol sy’n ceisio cysylltu pobl greadigol allddodol yn yr oedran 18 – 29 yn RhCT â’i gilydd. Mae Gwnewch e! hefyd yn anelu at arloesi’r ffordd y mae perfformiad yn cael ei gomisiynu, ei wneud a’i deithio.

Mae’r prosiect yn rhedeg am 18 mis o fis Gorffennaf 2021 – Chwefror 2023. Ariennir gan ffrwd ariannu ail rownd ‘Cysylltu â Ffynnu’ Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru.

Oedd Gwnewch e! yn alwad frys gan artistiaid addawol – gwelodd Covid 19 a’r ‘Cyfnod Clo’ bopeth yn dod i ben i raddedigion ac artistiaid gyrfa gynnar, yn enwedig y rhai o ardaloedd difreintiedig. Drwy Sparc, Valleys Kids cyfarfwyd grwp o artistiaid addawol i fynd i’r afael â’r broblem hon. Rhannwyd eu maniffestos unigol ar gyfer newid mewn cyfarfodydd agored gyda gweithwyr llawrydd a sefydliadau a oedd awyddus i’w cefnogi. O hyn cafodd y bartneriaeth ei geni.
