A Welsh Poet in Japan

Osaka, Japan
FUNDED

I will be the guest at a festival in Japan on March 18th. The audience I will be performing to are very interested in Wales, it's a great opportunity to let people know about our culture, in particular Welsh poetry, and I have re-written some tales from the Mabinogion to perform to the audience.

I also aim to raise awareness of Selective Mutism, an anxiety-related speech disorder which I suffered from when young.

I have enough funding from the Japanese side to pay for the travel, but not enough for accomodation! So I am seeking help with this... It's pretty expensive out there, so I am looking to raise match-funding of £800.

Please help out if you can!
