Swyn’s national tour is well underway – but the show’s writer and performer, Krystal S. Lowe, and our Participation Co-ordinator, Sian Elin James, have already travelled to schools across Wales with the production’s powerful message of celebrating difference and nurturing self-love.
In October, Krystal and Sian Elin spent a fortnight visiting primary schools with drama and dance workshops based on Swyn’s wonderful world. There was an opportunity for the pupils to learn more about nature, friendship, and to use their imaginations to create new characters.
During their tour, Krystal and Sian Elin travelled almost 500 miles – visiting 9 schools and working with more than 300 children. And the word is they had a lot of fun along the way!
Krystal said:
“It was an incredible experience visiting over 300 Welsh-speaking children leading up to Swyn's tour of Wales. Each and every one of those bright and beautiful children engaged uniquely in drama and dance along with Sian Elin and I. Together, we explored Swyn's animal adventure and emotional expression. I look forward to seeing them all again as we tour Wales this winter!”
Sian Elin said:
“It was such a joy to work with Krystal and children all over Wales on these special workshops! Thanks to the 9 schools for the warm welcome and to the pupils for all the fun in the sessions – it was amazing to meet you all. A very special ‘diolch’ to Krystal for being such a wonderful workshop partner and for creating Swyn’s world for us all!”
