The two owners are Nathan Dippie and Gary Dennis, both have huge personalities and want to HELP put theatre and art to the top of the educational agenda. Nathan Dippie
I have also had training in Health and Safety which means that when we are touring all health and safety aspects are fully understood assessed and acted upon. I have also had a role in quality which means I understand the importance of good high quality products and services and the need for continual improvement, so please don't hesitate to comment as I take all comments good and bad and try and work them to aid in the development and improvement of our pieces. Gary Dennis
Gary is 23 and has graduated from Trinity College, Carmarthen with a BA Honours in Theatre studies. During his time there he learnt a lot about theatre but fell in love with Theatre In Education. "I believe that theatre is such a great way to communicate and especially with children. There are so many aspects of life that we need children to understand and at such an early age it is not always easy to portray all the facts. Educational theatre is such a great way to teach children about so many things that it is a shame that we cannot do it more often. T.I.E is especially useful when teaching students about difficult subjects such as drugs, sex education and healthy living. These subjects were preached to me at school not taught and this is something I want to change through using theatre, if portrayed in an equal light than students can see the risks as well as the benefits from acting a certain way rather than just being told how to act." Gary is also very passionate about giving young, aspiring actors and actresses the chance to gain some professional experience through the 'Young Actors' programme that he has set up. This programme lets recent graduates as well as 3rd year theatre and acting students get started in their careers. Gary started acting at the age of 13 when he was in the musical 'Grease' and from there on he knew his future lied in the industry. Never wanting to settle for knowledge in one particular area Gary explored the works and techniques of several practitioners throughout his studies including Stanislavski, Brecht and Artaud. At 14 Gary joined the Haymarket Youth Theatre group and was given the lead in Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale playing King Leontes. He then played Crookfinger Jake in Brecht's The Threepenny Opera the following year. After this he became very interested in youth theatre and decided to become more involved. He helped many of the younger age groups at the Haymarket as well as returning to his old Secondary school to help in productions. Whilst studying Gary was involved in many productions, some being part of the course and some being in his spare time. His main show being Arthur Miller's A View From The Bridge in which he played Mr. Alfieri, co-produced and co-directed it also. Gary was also part of a contemporary male dance group for 18 months called 'Voltere' which produced several pieces of physical theatre based dance.
