Rebecca met with Dek Leverton this week, a former member of Cardiff Laboratory Theatre, and a founder of Pauper's Carnival. Pauper's Carnival was formed in Cardiff in the mid-1970s, with a core membership of Dek and former drama teacher Vanya Constant.
They produced new, unique performances at Chapter and also at a number of other sites and performance spaces in Wales, and have been mentioned by a number of our contributors as being memorable and beautifully crafted.
Dek is pictured (right) holding a photo of Clown Dances, from 1977. Pauper's Carnival collaborated with other groups, including Moving Being, Pip Simmons and Brith Gof.
