We are excited to be hosting BAMBOO by NoFit State - a spectacular new high-impact, high-skill outdoor circus production using only bamboo and human bodies - revealing the fragility and beauty of our interconnected and interdependent life on this planet. The artists arrive at an empty stage, bringing bundles of bamboo. They build towering sculptures which morph, transform and become an improbable, delicate circus playground that seems to defy the laws of physics. Inhabited by world-class circus artists and acrobats, the structures bend, and flex, adding to the tension, drama, and sense of jeopardy that lies at the heart of great circus.A meaningful, joyful performance with live music, comedy and amazing feats of strength and agility. Together we celebrate what’s possible when humans and the natural world trust each other and work in harmony. Saturday 10th August Start times: 2pm and 5pm Colby Woodland Gardens, Garden Road, Amroth SA67 8PP Duration: 45 minutes  BAMBOO. A NoFit State production directed by Mish Weaver, in collaboration with Orit Azaz and Imagineer Productions. It is supported by the Arts Council of Wales, the Foyle Foundation, and Without Walls, and commissioned by Stockton International Riverside Festival, Norfolk & Norwich Festival, Hat Fair and Timber Festival. Parking: there is paid […]

We want your Earths, Clays and rocks! SPAN invites you to join Rhiannon Rees’s gentle painting project to map out your Pembrokeshire. We are delighted to invite you to participate in Rhiannon Rees’s Gentle Painting Project as part of SPAN Arts’ 2024 Love Stories to Nature program. For our latest commission for Love Stories to Nature, artist Rhiannon Rees is running a gentle painting project and for this we are collecting dry soil, rocks and pebbles from around Pembrokeshire. Rhiannon Rees’s site-responsive practice merges her interest in sustainable painting practices with her Welsh heritage. Foraging for pigments and creating Welsh paints is key, it allows her to connect with her ancestorial land. Once, one side of her family mined the Welsh land, and the other farmed the land. Rhiannon spends time in locations across Wales collecting industrial waste and natural materials to form her gentle paints. Gentle Painting is Rhiannon uses gentle painting as a way of engaging with the land, and as a way to bring this connection into her studio. The Gentle Painting Project invites Pembrokeshire communities to map the beautiful colours of their home county. We invite you all to send a small sample of earth, rock […]
