Remembering the Caribbean in Butetown

The National Theatre Wales (NTW) Assembly is a performance debate event that responds to a local issue in a creative setting. It can be described further as a community-led dramatic experience that nurtures an exploration of one or several issues important to the local community in which the main production is being performed, leaving space during the performance for the audience to debate and react. The aim of this event was to: 1. To celebrate the historical and contemporary links and emotional ties people have/ have had to key places in Butetown (the churches, centres, pubs and streets). 2. To celebrate the memories of Butetown residents of their relatives, friends and family from the Caribbean. 3. To open up space for Caribbean migrants to reflect on the role key places and activities in Butetown may have on their lives when they arrived and settled in Cardiff. 4. To open up space for Caribbean migrants and their children to share the varying impact Butetown has had on their lives through time and changing circumstances. 5. To give people space to share what ‘Butetown’ means to them today. 6. To explore the Assembly model as one creative, participatory approach of generating evidence about the everyday lives of communities.
