Name: Megan Price
Job title: Marketing Officer
I hear you’re at the cutting edge of new and social media? Any future tips/insights? Well Google+ is where it’s at at the moment, although it’s mostly full of people talking about Google+, so it’s got a long way to go to supplant my Twitter addiction! Anyone who’s looking for social media tips should come along to the monthly Social Media Surgery here – 5-7pm on the first Wednesday of every month.
Favourite thing about working at Chapter? Where to start? The art is exciting and challenging, the people are fabulous and the beer is pretty stonking too, especially for an ale girl.
Best memories at Chapter? Our 40th birthday weekend was pretty special – a whole three days of everything and everyone who makes Chapter the wonderful place that it is.
Best/Most moving Chapter event/film/exhibition? Gerald Tyler’s Big Hands was a real highlight. Epic and filmic, while still intimate and gripping. Gerald is the sort of performer who really does hold the audience in the palm of his hand.
Tell us about your theatrical background/involvements. I’m a theatre baby, literally. My Mam used to take me to work with her in wardrobe at Theatre Clwyd in my pram. My Dad was Technical Stage Manager there for 20 years, so I grew up surrounded by the theatre. I was part of Clwyd Youth Theatre and Llanelli Youth Theatre – I suppose I’ve always been destined to work in the arts!
How did you get involved with local politics? I’ve always been fairly politically active, so when a friend asked me to help him to campaign on local issues I jumped at the chance. To cut a long story short, we’re now running as Independents in the local elections in Llandaff North next year.
Do you have Welsh or Westminster Government ambitions? Not at all. My passion is really getting involved in the local community and having an immediate impact on things that affect their day to day lives.
Do you have any other hidden talents? Well, I can hold a tune, so I’m told. I’m also pretty nifty when it comes to knitting and baking.
Your favourite place, outside of Chapter? Edinburgh, at Festival time.
If money was no object what would you buy? A classic VW camper van. I guess I’d have to learn to drive then too…
Who would you like to play you in a film of your life? Alyson Hannigan (yes, I’m a complete Buffy nerd).
What’s your favourite snack? Does cake count? Red velvet cup cakes. Or wasabi peas.
Tell us a secret… I was baptised by JRR Tolkien’s son.
Tell us a joke… What’s the fastest cake? Scone!
