Trinity launches radio archive project

Sian Elin Ifans, who graduated from the school of Theatr, Cerdd a’r Cyfryngau this year with a BA degree in Cerdd a’r Cyfryngau, has been appointed to work on a unique and exciting project at Trinity University, Carmarthen.
An application by the School of Theatr, Cerdd a'r Cyfryngau, to the Creative Industries’ Network Panel under the guidance of the Centre for Welsh Medium Higher Education, was successful for funding a radio archive project in the area of Drama in Wales.
“The project aims to create a website for students in the higher education sector that study Drama, Media and Welsh, as they will be able to hear the plays they are studying,” said Non Vaughan Williams from the School.
“The project will also provide a resource for prospective actors to hear and learn different Welsh accents, as well as an opportunity to follow a young playwright.”
As part of her studies, Sian scripted and produced a period drama for radio, as well as creating a website to coincide with the product.
Her work therefore provided a platform for her to progress and develop to work on a unique project such as this.
