The Place is a multi-functional arts and community space in the heart of Newport City Centre.

George Harris, Creative Director "We've wanted to create a fringe festival in Newport for many years. Since establishing Tin Shed as Alumni students of Newport Uni in 2010, we have seen a decline in new performing arts work being made and shown in Wales and we think Newport is the best place to reignite new stories and ambitious performance ideas!"
Gwyl celfyddydau perfformio newydd sbon a gynhelir ar 21 a 22 Mawrth 2025 yn arddangos enghreifftiau o weithiau celfyddydau perfformio beiddgar, newydd ac uchelgeisiol yn eu camau cynnar.

George Harris, Cyfarwyddwr Creadigol "Rydym wedi bod eisiau creu gwyl ymylol yng Nghasnewydd ers blynyddoedd lawer. Ers sefydlu Tin Shed fel myfyrwyr Alumni
Prifysgol Casnewydd yn 2010, rydym wedi gweld dirywiad yn y gwaith celfyddydau perfformio newydd sy'n cael ei wneud a'i ddangos yng Nghymru. a chredwn mai
Casnewydd yw’r lle gorau i ailgynnau straeon newydd a syniadau perfformio uchelgeisiol!"
FOUND OUT THERE NEW MYTHS OF NEWPORT
People of Newport: join Adam, a storyteller and public typist, to share your stories about your city. Working together, you will then create a new myth that engages with the humour of resilience and explores alternative futures for our society. Adam will type up the myth for you to take home. At the end of the festival, a collection of the new myths will be made into a pamphlet and shared in a storytelling performance.
Pobl Casnewydd: ymunwch ag Adam, storïwr a theipydd cyhoeddus, i rannu eich straeon am eich dinas. Gan weithio gyda'ch gilydd, byddwch wedyn yn creu myth newydd hynny yn ymgysylltu â hiwmor gwytnwch ac yn archwilio dyfodol amgen i ni cymdeithas. Bydd Adam yn teipio'r myth i chi fynd ag ef adref. Ar ddiwedd y gwyl, bydd casgliad o'r mythau newydd yn cael ei wneud yn bamffled a'i rannu mewn perfformiad adrodd straeon.

ORDINARY STORIES THEATRE LIGHT / HALF
light / half explores the connection between Newport and its landscapes. As we enter the light half of the year, we question the role of rurality and its rituals in a city, imagining a world where they coexist. Using OST’s methodology, we engage the local community to bring this story to life.
light/hanner yn archwilio’r cysylltiad rhwng Casnewydd a’i thirweddau. Wrth fynd i mewn i hanner ysgafn y flwyddyn, rydym yn cwestiynu rôl gwledigrwydd a'i ddefodau mewn dinas, gan ddychmygu byd lle maent yn cydfodoli. Gan ddefnyddio methodoleg OST, rydym yn ymgysylltu â’r gymuned leol i ddod â’r stori hon yn fyw.
PHOEBE BAKER ONE IN THREE
This piece explores returning to the highwire after trauma, embracing a new physicality and mindset. It highlights female empowerment, anger at gender-based violence, and the circus's unique role in history as a space where women’s strength and abilities are celebrated, allowing them to reclaim their bodies on their terms.
Mae'r darn hwn yn archwilio dychwelyd i'r weiren uchel ar ôl trawma, gan gofleidio corfforoldeb a meddylfryd newydd. Mae’n amlygu grymuso menywod, dicter at drais ar sail rhywedd, a rôl unigryw’r syrcas mewn hanes fel gofod lle mae cryfder a galluoedd menywod yn cael eu dathlu, gan ganiatáu iddynt adennill eu cyrff ar eu telerau nhw.

Tin Shed Theatre Co is a theatrical company of freelance artists, makers and creative innovators specialising in arts activity and creative outreach provision in Wales. The company seek to connect communities through creative activation in outdoor locations, publicly populated space, heritage sites and structures.
The company has over 15 years of experience creating large scale, site-responsive theatrical works. To date TSTC has developed multiple outreach provisions and partners, connecting disparate communities to form lasting intergenerational and cultural relationships.
“We are inspired by the atmosphere and connectivity of live theatre, we make outdoor performances that blend classic iconography with neon light. Through this work, we introduce ourselves to communities and encourage them to be bold and brave by inviting them to work closely with us and alongside us.
At its heart, our work is an ambition to tell stories, and these differ from project to project and place to place. However, what is constant is our ambition to locate ourselves in unusual spaces and collaborate with the brilliant and unique local and international artists, creating bold new work that could be a large scale sitespecific, immersive performance, or an intimate, chat on a park bench”
