Rydym yn hysbysebu ysgoloriaeth PhD Cilgant Celtaidd a ariennir gan yr AHRC sy'n archwilio'r cyfleoedd ar gyfer ffilmiau mewn ieithoedd lleiafrifol. Drwy gyfuno ymchwil clyweledol ac archifol â chyfweliadau ac ymarfer curadurol, bydd y prosiect hwn yn archwilio llwyfannau amgen ar gyfer ffilmiau Cymraeg ac yn adnabod egwyddorion y gellir eu trosglwyddo i gymunedau ieithoedd lleiafrifol eraill o fewn y DU ac o amgylch y byd. Bydd y myfyriwr yn elwa o fod ar flaen y gad o ran dadleuon cyfoes, byd-eang mewn astudiaethau ffilm, ond bydd wedi'i wreiddio a'i leoli o fewn cyd-destun Cymraeg, tra'n cael ei lywio gan gymunedau ieithoedd lleiafrifol eraill.

We are advertising a Celtic Crescent PhD studentship funded by the AHRC which explores the opportunities for screen fictions in minority languages. By combining audiovisual and archival research with interviews and curatorial practice, this project will explore alternative platforms for Welsh-language film and identify principles that may be transferable to other minoritised language communities both within the UK and around the world. The student will benefit from being at the cutting edge of contemporary, global debates in film studies, but will be rooted and located within a Welsh-language context, while being informed by other minoritised language communities.

This month students from TFTS collaborated with students from The School of Art for a workshop in “Creating Concept Art Collaboratively”. Students studying theatre and film design used short stories to come up with ideas for the look of the main locations the stories were set in. Students studying illustration then worked with them to interpret, develop and capture their ideas down on paper.

The workshop developed skills in collaborative thinking, visual communication, creative exchange and negotiation and professional networking.

The feedback from the students was very positive, they enjoyed meeting students from a different department and working collaboratively to develop and realise ideas.

This workshop was run by Dr Lara Kipp from TFTS and Chris Iliff from The School of Art.


Y mis hwn cydweithiodd myfyrwyr o ThFfTh â myfyrwyr o'r Ysgol Gelf ar gyfer gweithdy o’r enw "Creating Concept Art Collaboratively". Defnyddiodd myfyrwyr sy'n astudio theatr a dylunio ffilm straeon byrion i ddod o hyd i syniadau ar gyfer edrychiad y prif leoliadau yr oedd y straeon wedi'u gosod ynddynt. Yna gweithiodd myfyrwyr sy'n astudio darlunio gyda nhw i ddehongli, datblygu a chofnodi eu syniadau ar bapur.

Datblygodd y gweithdy sgiliau meddwl cydweithredol, cyfathrebu gweledol, cyfnewid a thrafod creadigol a rhwydweithio proffesiynol.

Roedd yr adborth gan y myfyrwyr yn gadarnhaol iawn, roedden nhw'n mwynhau cwrdd â myfyrwyr o adran wahanol a gweithio ar y cyd i ddatblygu a gwireddu syniadau.

Cynhaliwyd y gweithdy hwn gan Dr Lara Kipp o ThFfTh a Chris Iliff o'r Ysgol Gelf.

We’re very proud to announce that this year’s recipient of the Mike Pearson Prize for Excellence in Performance-Making is Charlie Mark for his piece ‘Force of Nature’. Through physical movement, Charlie’s solo performance recreated a storm cycle, reflecting on the ecological impact of human activity on our changing climate.

It’s a privilege to be able to give this award in Mike’s memory, in celebration of his pioneering artistic work and his pedagogical legacy. We are especially thankful to Professor Heike Pearson-Roms for her continued support and generosity which makes the award possible.

Rydym yn falch iawn o gyhoeddi mai enillydd Gwobr Mike Pearson am Ragoriaeth mewn Perfformio eleni yw Charlie Mark am ei berfformiad ‘Force of Nature’. Trwy gyfrwng gwaith corfforol, roedd perfformiad solo Charlie yn ymgais i ail-greu storm tu fewn i’r gofod perfformio, gan adlewyrchu ar effaith ecolegol mae dynoliaeth yn ei gael ar hinsawdd ein planed.

Mae’n fraint gallu rhoi’r wobr er cof am Mike, er mwyn dathlu gwaddol ei waith creadigol arloesol a’i ddylanwad fel addysgwr, a charem ddiolch yn arbennig i’r Athro Heike Pearson-Roms am ei chefnogaeth hael o’r wobr.
