Latest news is that after thinking that we had said goodbye forever to our Labyrinth instillation in the Gwydyr Forest, the kind people of the forest...no not fairies but the group formed to represent the people who live in the forest, Golygfa Gwydyr, have asked us back. In a recent consultation exercise they did with the forest folk one of the common requests was for a return of the performances. So we are currently working together to raise funds for a...wait for it...a Halloween Labyrinth. This time the production is done on the cheap because of the bloody London Olympics which is already syphoning off arts funding into the corporate coffers, the actors will all be local volunteers. So if you are local to the Conwy Valley and are reading this and fancy getting involved...not necessarily acting but helping out in some way with your time, please get in touch.
Of course whether it happens hinges on funding applications succeeding but Cynefin are looking forward to the challenge of making a Labyrinth on the night of ghosts (Ysbrydnos, in Welsh) which pricks at the psychology of fear and the otherworld, without scaring the pants of people.
