Through Our Eyes

Those of you who've attended Romeo a Juliet may have noticed a short film being shown in the theatre foyer...

Over recent months, hundreds of young people across Wales have been part of creating a short film to raise the curtain on each performance of Romeo a Juliet. 

Under the creative guidance of our Participation Coordinator, Sian Elin James and the artists Nia Morais and Connor Allen, pupils from 6 secondary schools have explored what Wales means to young people today. The workshops explored the relationship between young people and Wales by focusing on their experiences, their identity, and their connection with the Welsh language and culture. 

Nia and Connor then transformed the ideas from the workshops into a bilingual poem, narrated by the young participants in a short film by Dafydd Hughes (Amcan). 
 
Our heartfelt thanks go to the pupils and teachers at Ysgol Glan Clwyd (St Asaph), Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Glantaf (Cardiff), Bishop of Llandaff High School (Cardiff), Ysgol Gyfun Community Penweddig (Aberystwyth), Penglais School (Aberystwyth) and St Michael’s School (Llanelli).
