Capture
Wales comes to Newport
Have you got a story you'd like to tell?
麻豆社
Wales is running a free digital storytelling workshop in the Pillgwenlly
Millennium Centre, Newport, in September where people can transfer
their tales from brain to screen.
Part of the Capture Wales initiative - a unique project from 麻豆社
Wales in partnership with Cardiff University - the workshop is aimed
at creating a vivid self-portrait of Newport through digital stories
told by the people who live in the area.
"Digital storytelling uses new technology to help people tell
their own, personal tales in a new way," explains 麻豆社 Wales
Editor, New Media Mandy Rose.
"Workshops like this are being held in communities across Wales,
over the next three years, gathering a wide range of stories from
people from all walks of life."
During the five-day workshop people are introduced to a range of
technology using computers, images and editing software, digital
cameras and sound recording equipment.
Each participant creates a short, rich media piece, to tell their
story in their own style.
These mini-documentaries may be shown on 麻豆社 Wales' Capture Wales
website
and some may appear on television in the future.
The workshop is free, but places are limited and by application
only.
麻豆社 Wales is running a presentation evening for people who want
to know more at The Dolman Theatre, Kingsway, Newport on Thursday
29 August, between 6.00 and 8.00pm.
"It's a chance to see some of the terrific and often moving
stories that have been made to date, find out about the workshop
process, and pick up an application form for the Newport workshop,
which starts on 12 September," adds Mandy Rose.
Digital stories are available to view by visiting the Capture Wales
website at .
