THE PLAYMeet Teifi – she has been hiding in bed for years.“There are moments when we are too embarrassed to move, too terrified to speak.Sometimes we want to hide in bed forever……Then just sometimes we let the beasts within us take over. And we begin to do things we've always longed to do…”Teifi delves deep into the hidden recesses of her imagination, fighting off demons and journeying to unknown lands. Will her inner Monsters be her downfall, or will they provoke her to find something greater, something wild?This is a funny, magical, one-of-a-kind performance.AUDIENCE FEEDBACK“We were spellbound”“It made me laugh and cry at the same time. Frighteningly honest”“The humour, the creativity, the imagination… I loved it”THE PERFORMANCESPerformances of WiLD will be happening at Chapter Arts Centre in Cardiff in January 2012. A nationwide tour during 2012 is currently being organised.ABOUT TEIFIHaving acted in the theatre my whole life I have now made my first solo show. This piece marks my debut as a unique, innovative artist. In my work I aim first for artistic excellence, and then to create a unique sense of mystery - that special feeling that you get with a story well told.  My work often uses humour, the absurd, beauty, strangeness and parody.As well as training as an actor and theatre-maker, I recently took classes in business training for theatre.Click here to see my CV Click here to read more about Teifi.WHY DONATE?Your donation will support the successful production of this play, bringing it to many audiences.  It also means something much more personal to me - supporting my career at this vital moment.  You will be playing a part in my life in an incredible way, and for that I truly thank you.WHERE WILL THE MONEY GO?My ambitions for this piece are enormous.  They include creating some extraordinary monster costumes, a beautiful animated sequence which will be woven in with the live action, plus re-drafting the script and rehearsing to a razor sharp performance.This is a professional project; I will be employing a team of 12 people, lighting, set, sound and costume designers, a production manager, a marketing manager, an animator, a choreographer and a drama consultant. There are other costs such as for materials, rehearsal space and printing. The total amount needed for this production is £12,000.£5,000 has been awarded to me by Arts Council of Wales.The remaining £7,000 I am fundraising with your help and generosity.  Rest assured that I am working hard to find enough funders to meet the target!Download the budget and my successful Arts Council Application here.GREEN POLICYI am keen to look after the environment.  I make my costumes and set mainly from recycled materials and keep plastic consumption as low as possible, nothing goes to waste.This isn’t a one-off.   I have huge ideas for future projects and I aim to make sustainability a key element of all my work.THANK YOU!Thanks you for your time and please do get in touch - I'd love to hear from you!Teifi Emerald www.TeifiEmerald.net <- WiLD Websitewww.ActsofBeauty.co.uk/wordpress <- My BlogThose download links again:CV / Budget / Grant Application
