Mae ein myfyrwyr BA Perfformio wedi ymuno â’r hyfryd Elinor, myfyrwraig dylunio gwisgoedd o Coleg y Cymoedd, ar gyfer prosiect theatr stryd direidus sy’n mynd i Tafwyl yng Nghaerdydd eleni! 🧵🎨🎪

Ni'n hollol gyffrous i helpu creu cysylltiadau creadigol gyda Coleg y Cymoedd a chreu cyfleoedd newydd i fyfyrwyr ddysgu, arbrofi a chreu gwaith gwych gyda’i gilydd.

Cadwch lygad allan amdanynt yn Tafwyl yr haf hwn 👀☀️

-----------------------------------------------

Our BA Perfformio students have teamed up with the brilliant Coleg y Cymoedd costume design student Elinor for a cheeky new street theatre project heading to this year’s Tafwyl Festival in Cardiff! 🧵🎨🎪

We’re so excited to be building creative connections with Coleg y Cymoedd and creating new opportunities for students to learn, experiment and make brilliant work together.

Mae un o’n prosiectau mwyaf ffrwythlon y flwyddyn wedi dod i ben.

Bob blwyddyn, mae ein myfyrwyr Lefel 6 yn cyflwyno eu hymateb creadigol eu hunain mewn pa bynnag ffurf y dymunant. Eleni rydym wedi gweld dramâu a rhaglenni dogfen i nofelau a gosodiadau celf a thraethodau. Mae pob un yn fynegiant unigryw o lais, safbwynt a dychymyg.

Mae’r ffocws wedi bod ar annog myfyrwyr i fynegi eu hunain yn rhydd a darganfod pwy ydynt fel pobol creadigol, nid dim ond fel perfformwyr.

Ni'n hynod falch o bawb am eu dewrder, am fod yn agored, a’u parodrwydd i roi cynnig ar rywbeth newydd.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

One of our most fruitful projects of the year has now come to an end.

Every year, our Level 6 students present their own creative response in whatever form they choose. This year we’ve seen plays and documentaries, art installations, novels and dissertations, each one a unique expression of voice, perspective, and imagination.

The focus has been on encouraging students to express themselves freely and discover who they are as creatives, not just performers.

We are incredibly proud of everyone for their bravery, openness, and willingness to try something new.
