She is currently building her portfolio as a storyteller and writing a thesis in the philosophy of art, focussing on how the process of creating art can help us as human beings in a disenchanted world. Hayley has a deep love for the stories of the land and the music of magic, sharing this through publications such as ‘The Giant’s Tarot’ (art) and several anthologies (writing) to help re-enchant the world. Hayley has also performed in diverse situations, from storytelling as an Iron Age bard to Crabtree in ‘Allo ‘Allo and The Tempest’s Miranda.

James Baker is a Writer and Performer, currently studying his second year of a Performing Arts BTEC at Coleg Ceredigion and writing his first full-length play. He’s fascinated by how we narrativise our lives, the Stories and Lies we tell ourselves and each other to make life liveable, and he hopes the human condition of endemic self-deception is a long-lived one as he finds it quite useful for getting to sleep at night.

Vivian Chinasa, Ezugha is a third year student at the School of Art. Since coming to University, her work has become an investigation in what it means to draw. Using her body as a drawing tool, she has become more aware of the ways in which she can use her body as a tool for performance. She makes marks using her mouth and by sitting still, creating a link between the visible and the invisible. Drawing is her way of self-expression and she is exploring this through the engagement with live performance.
