Platfform is a three-year pilot residency programme aimed at supporting emerging artists from across the performing arts interested in making theatre for babies, children, young people and families.
Through Platfform, Theatr Iolo pairs emerging artists and organisations working across these art forms with partner venues and organisations across Wales to create theatre that speaks to young people and families and is exciting, collaborative and original.
Through this project, Theatr Iolo aims to inspire young people, support and nurture artists interested in making interesting and high quality theatre for young and family audiences and encourage audiences to feel connected to their local arts venue.
The Welfare Ystradgynlais has been one of the partner venues for all three years of the Platfform project working with Tracy Harris and Paul Jenkins, Tin Shed Theatre and The Jones Collective.
