Here at the Network we're all about supporting each other, whether that's emotionally or through bigging up your work. So for our first Member Feature we wanted to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to BolSHE! Read more about their work below, and check our their brand spanking new website here!

BolSHE is a women-led creative collective, platforming the voices and stories of Welsh/Wales based women in the creative industries.
Our goal is to celebrate and utilise Welsh and Wales based women in the creative arts. BolSHE was founded by Alice Eklund, a bilingual director and dramaturg based in Cardiff. Since then we have grown to a team of three; Tori Lyons, a writer and actor based in the Valleys and Gwenan Bain, a director and stage manager based in London. Since it was established BolSHE has created a platform for our growing community that we feature and celebrate.
We've recently undergone a HUGE rebrand that has allowed us to grow as a collective. We now have a bunch of features that everyone can get involved with. We've also decided to create a hub for all of our information and features via a website - bolshe.co.uk
We're introducing features that will allow us to platform the creative wonders we have in Wales in new and exciting ways for BolSHE. BolSHE Beats in particular is a new feature to platform Welsh/Wales based musicians and bands, in the new year we'll bringing in a super exciting project with some of Wales' finest musicians.
We've also been super fortunate to receive funding via Theatr Clwyd's Bursary scheme, which has allowed us to R&D a new project that will take us into communities to create a project that encompasses collaboration and voices. We're super excited to work with new people and collaborate, so please get in touch if we can help with anything at all!
Thank you for the post! <3
