Yr Odyn
A new scheme for emerging artists from Volcano@229
Yr Odyn is a new scheme from Volcano designed to support and galvanize emerging artists and companies in Wales.
The programme will be based in Volcano's unique new venue at 229 Swansea High Street. The opportunities the company offers as part of the scheme include free access to practical rehearsal and development space, one-to-one support, arts management training, meeting and discussion space, as well as more informal opportunities to meet with partners and Associate Artists.
Yr Odyn is a structured programme built upon mentoring and coaching, which draws upon the full range of Volcano's skills and experience. Volcano’s expertise includes directing, devising, research and development, movement, voice, creative writing, design, critical theory, teaching, administration, marketing, copywriting, fundraising, IT and technical support.
The programme is twelve months in duration. Due to the intensive character of the scheme, only TWO artists or companies can be supported in any twelve-month period. Applications for Yr Odyn are welcomed from new and emerging artists working in the area of the performing arts and live arts. Applications should be made via email and will be considered from 1st February. The successful candidates will be announced on 1st Marc, and the scheme will begin in April.
