Endometriosis

Llinos states, It's no secret that I have endometriosis and that I've just had surgery, for the third time in 7 years, because of it! It affects one in ten women (as many as diabetes or asthma).

This is a fantastic documentary about the disease which is being shown world-wide.It was premiered in the States and, to my knowledge, is being screened across the US, Canada, Australia and the UK. This will be only the second screening in Wales. There will be two endometriosis specialist surgeons attending the screening, including the one who did my surgery a couple of weeks ago, as well as an endometriosis nurse.

 I'm part of a group campaigning for women to be able to access the gold-standard treatment for endo, which I have just had, and not have to endure years of misdiagnosis and 'treatments' which do more harm than good.

Young Critics programme

Through expert guidance, students are be able to explore the role of the art critic, and discover different ways to respond to theatre and live art including face book, Vimeo and Twitter.

Our Young Critics programme is now recruiting for new members aged between 16 and 25.

If you want to learn the skills of theatre criticism come and join us at Venue Cymru/Theatr Colwyn, where you'll watch a range of performances, have a mentor to guide you with your work and benefit from workshops with writers.

Young Critics reviews are published on our dedicated blog site and on social media. The scheme, supported by Arts Council of Wales, is the first of its kind in North Wales.

There will be opportunities to visit performances at other venues and to attend writing workshops at Ty Newydd National Writers Centre of Wales.
