Swansea Bay media supports young Haiti helpers

Look out for a new star of the Swansea radio airwaves this week.

Kayte Marsh is a rather chipper teacher at a local comp and is also a key player in the city's excellent Class Act Theatre School (CATS).
On March 13, at Pontardawe Arts Centre, she's due to co-direct a CATS production which will help Haiti.
To publicise the effort by her young charges, she's been invited into the Swansea Sound newsroom for interview. Hopefully, a news item will follow.
The Arts Centre show will evoke memories of another human tragedy - Aberfan.
It will feature children aged seven to 10 and mini-monologues recalling the 1966 coal-tip disaster.
The young actors are all members of CATS. Their hour-long showcase takes place at on Saturday from 2pm.
Entry to The Sixties v The Noughties is free but those attending will be invited to donate to the Disaster Emergency Committee’s Haiti fund.
Kayte told Media Master: “Our young students have a really moving piece which remembers Aberfan. It involves movement, speech and some lovely character work.
“As January’s earthquake will become part of Haiti’s history, Aberfan will always be a key moment in the story of Wales. Both tragedies will never be forgotten.”
The Aberfan disaster, in October 1966, saw 144 people die, 116 of them children. The Haiti disaster claimed the lives of many thousands; millions of pounds of aid has been donated by the public.
The latest CATS performance brings together devised pieces, improvisation, song, dance, poetry and humour from more than 40 of the school’s youngest pupils.
Co-director Hannah Dunne said: “There seemed to be a real community spirit and team ethos in the 1960s and we’re eager to illustrate that it remains today amongst our young people.”
Music featured in the show includes The Who’s My Generation and the song Welcome to the 60s from period musical Hairspray.
I urge you to take a trip up the valley to enjoy the experience and the skills of the young stage personalities.
