Mae’r dulliau dawns a ddewisir gan y ddau yn gwbl wahanol: dawns glasurol Indiaidd a hip hop. Fodd bynnag, maent yn rhannu hanes sydd â’i wreiddiau’n nwfn yn realiti tywyll ymfudo trefedigol a llafur ar blanhigfa.

Material Men redux is a full length virtuoso piece for two dazzling performers of the Indian diaspora. Their chosen dance styles could not be more different: classical Indian and hip hop. However, they share a history rooted in the dark realities of colonial migration and plantation labour. It is a dynamic and moving exploration of the violence of loss and the creation of new ways of belonging and features a score by acclaimed Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin. 16

Yn ddoniol, chwareus, pryfoclyd, perthnasol ac yn llawn sgwrs, dadleuon, duwdodau a dawnsio disgo, mae’r alegori fywiog galonogol hon yn disgleirio ei golau sanctaidd ar faterion byd-eang ac yn gofyn y cwestiynau amlycaf - pwy ydym a beth ydym yn gwneud i ni’n hunain?.....a beth ydych chi’n defnyddio i drin eich gwallt? Aberystwyth Arts Centre’s Home performances for the National Theatre Connections Festival. The Marxist in Heaven by Hattie Naylor is a play that does exactly what its title page says it’s going to do. The eponymous protagonist ‘wakes up’ in paradise and once they get over the shock of this fundamental contradiction of everything they believe in…..they get straight back to work….and continue their lifelong struggle for equality and fairness for all….even in death. Funny, playful, provocative, pertinent and jampacked with discourse, disputes, deities and disco dancing by the bucketful, this upbeat buoyant allegory shines its holy light on globalization and asks the salient questions – who are we and what are we doing to ourselves?.....and what conditioner do you use on your hair?

Set in 2050, a covert unit of two eco-policemen, Eben and Bill, sets out to blow the water line between Wales and England in order to protect the Welsh ecology. Water Wars is a human story, structured around a love triangle of Eben, Bill and Sophia that explores climate change, nationhood and language.

Côr gwych - unawdwyr rhagorol cerddorfa symffoni lawn. Ni ddylid eu methu. When Giuseppe Verdi wrote his Requiem he threw off the constraints of conventional sacred music. Instead, he brought his imagination and full dramatic powers to a scenario of tragedy, redemption, and the end of time. The result is sensational – one of the mightiest of all choral masterpieces. A superb choir – brilliant soloists – full symphony orchestra. Not to be missed.

Yn ymestyn dros yr 20fed ganrif ac hyd at y dydd presennol, bydd yr arddangosfa yn cynnwys gwaith gan Lucian Freud, David Hockney, Pablo Picasso, Bridget Riley a Rachel Whiteread i enwi ond ychydig. Mae hon yn arddangosfa deithiol Cyngor y Celfyddydau.

The Printed Line exhibition considers how artists have used a variety of printmaking techniques to exploit the potential of the printed line, from the thick velvety line of drypoint and the heavy cross-hatching of etching to delicate wood engraving and boldly coloured screenprints and lithographs. Spanning the 20th century and up to the present day, the exhibition will include works by Lucian Freud, David Hockney, Pablo Picasso, Bridget Riley and Rachel Whiteread to name just a few.

Gerald Scarfe: Llwyfan a Sgrîn Stage and Screen 12 Ionawr - 9 Mawrth | 12 January – 9 March Gerald Scarfe (g.1936) yw cartwnydd gwleidyddol mwyaf blaenllaw’r DU, yn adnabyddus am ei ddychan egr a digyfaddawd. Mae ei waith wedi ymddangos mewn print yn y Sunday Times ers 45 mlynedd; fodd bynnag rhoddir bywyd newydd i’w gymeriadau a’i fydoedd digamsyniol ar y llwyfan a’r sgrîn: Fel Pygmalion ‘rwyf bob amser am roi bywyd i’m creadigaethau - i ddod â nhw oddi ar y dudalen a rhoi iddynt gnawd a gwaed, symudiad a drama. Mae paentiadau a darluniau yn ddau ddimensiwn. I roi iddynt gryndra 3D rhai creu cerflun. I roi iddynt fywyd mae angen animeiddiad neu actor ar lwyfan.

English National Opera - Orpheus yn yr Isfyd – poster cyhoeddusrwydd ® Gerald Scarfe | English National Opera - Orpheus in the Underworld - publicity poster ® Gerald Scarfe

Mae’r arddangosfa hon, ar daith o’r Tŷ Darluniau, yn ystyried gwaith helaeth Scarfe ym meysydd animeiddiad a theatr a dylunio gwisgoedd. Nodweddir brasluniau rhagarweiniol, bordiau straeon, dyluniau setiau a gwisgoedd, ffotograffau, effemera, gwisgoedd, darnau set ac animeiddiad. Gerald Scarfe (b.1936) is the UK’s most prominent political cartoonist, known for his acerbic and uncompromising satire. Although his work has appeared in print in The Sunday Times for 50 years, his unmistakable style is given new life on stage and screen: Like Pygmalion I always want to bring my creations to life – to bring them off the page and give them flesh and blood, movement and drama. Paintings and drawings are two dimensional. To give them 3D rotundity one has to make a sculpture. To give them life one needs animation or an actor on stage. This touring exhibition from The House of Illustration explores Scarfe’s extensive work in animation and theatre and costume design. It features preliminary sketches, storyboards, costume and set designs, photographs, ephemera, costumes, set pieces and animation cels.

Anna Falcini: Rhwng y Plygiadau gwelir Gronynnau In Between the Folds are Particles 16 Mawrth - 11 Mai | 16 March – 11 May Mae corff cymhellol o waith newydd yn sôn am sgwrs barhaus rhwng yr artist cyfoes, Anna Falcini, a’r artist Gwen John (1876 -1939) o Gymru, trwy archif llythyrau a dyddiaduron drafft John yn Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru, Aberystwyth a ddarganfuodd yn ystod ei chyfnod preswyl yma. Mae tameidiau o fywyd John yn rhwym o fewn y deunyddiau archifol;

y pethau sy’n ei gwneud yn agored i niwed, y pethau mae hi’n teimlo’n angerddol drostynt, ei hamheuon a’i phryderon artistig. Wrth i Falcini ddechrau ymchwilio i Bapurau Gwen John yn 2014, darganfuodd fod profiadau John fel artist benywaidd yn debyg iawn i’w rhai hi, er gwaethaf cyfnod o gan mlynedd rhyngddynt. Cefnogir yr arddangosfa gan Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru a Chronfa Eaton. A compelling body of new work tells of an ongoing conversation between contemporary artist, Anna Falcini, and the late Welsh artist, Gwen John (1876 -1939), through the archive of John’s draft letters and diaries at the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, discovered during Falcini’s residency here. Bound within the archival materials, are the particles of John’s life; her vulnerabilities, passions, doubts and artistic concerns. As Falcini began researching the Gwen John Papers in 2014, she discovered that John’s experiences as a female artist closely mirrored her own despite being divided by a century of time. This exhibition has been supported by the Arts Council of Wales and the Eaton Fund.

Meddwl Thinking 17 Ionawr - 16 Mawrth | 17 January – 16 March Gwaith ar y cyd yw Meddwl lle mae aelodau Cerflunwaith Cymru wedi cymryd elfen gyffredin, sef bocs sgwâr, a defnyddio’r gofod mewnol i greu gwaith celf gyda’r teitl ‘Meddwl’ (sy’n chwarae efo’r dywediad ‘meddwl tu allan i’r bocs’). Mae terfynau mewnol y bocs a chyfyngiadau’r dimensiynau wedi gorfodi’r cerflunwyr i weithio mewn tiriogaeth anghyfarwydd. Wedi dweud hynny, mae’r cerfluniau unigol yn adlewyrchu hunaniaeth ddigamsyniol yr artist ac mae’r ymatebion i, a’r dehongliadau o’r gofod, yr un mor amrywiol ag ydynt yn debyg. Mae pob darn yn gwahodd myfyrdod gofalus ac, wrth gwrs, yn gofyn y cwestiwn ‘Beth oeddent yn meddwl? Thinking is a joint collaboration in which participating members of Sculpture Cymru have taken a common element, a square box, in which they have used the internal space to create a work with the title ‘Thinking’(a mild pun around the expression ‘thinking outside the box’). The confines of the box interior and the constraints of dimensions have forced the sculptors to work in unfamiliar territory. That said, the individual sculptures have the unmistakeable identity of the artist and the reaction to, and the interpretation of the spaces is as varied as it is similar. All pieces invite thoughtful contemplation and, of course, pose the question ‘What were they thinking’? 51

Donald Pleasence yn 100 Donald Pleasence at 100 9 Tachwedd - 19 Ionawr 9 November – 19 January Mae 2019 yn nodi canmlwyddiant genedigaeth Donald Pleasence. O bosib yn un o’r actorion cymeriad Prydeinig mwyaf adnabyddus, ymddangosodd mewn bron 150 o ffilmiau. Mae’r arddangosfa hon ond yn crafu wyneb ei yrfa anhygoel. Trwy ddefnyddio cardiau lobi gwreiddiol, posteri sinema a phecynnau gwasg o lawer o wahanol wledydd, mae’r gwaith a arddangosir yma yn anelu at ddangos nid yn unig amrywiaeth eang ei ffilmiau, ond hefyd y ffaith bod Donald Pleasence yn enw y byddech yn ei weld mewn cynteddau sinema yn llythrennol ledled y byd. 2019 marks the centenary of the birth of Donald Pleasence. Possibly one of the most widely known British character actors, he had appeared in nearly 150 films. This exhibition merely scratches the surface of his incredible body of work. By utilising original lobby cards, cinema posters and press kits from many different countries, the work on display here aims to show not only the wide variety of films he would appear in, but also that Donald Pleasence was a name you would see in cinema foyers literally around the world.

Sefydlwyd y Grŵp Celf a Chyfeillgarwch yn wreiddiol fel grŵp celf ac iechyd peilot a noddwyd yn ystod y blynyddoedd cyntaf gan HAUL. ‘Rydym yn griw o unigolion sy’n cyfarfod unwaith yr wythnos i greu celf gyda’n gilydd. ‘Rydym yn gweithio mewn ffordd organig, ‘rydym yn ystyried syniadau, yn rhoi cynnig ar wahanol ddeunyddiau ac yn dod o hyd i ffyrdd newydd o weithio gydag hen ddeunyddiau. ‘Rydym yn cefnogi’n gilydd i wthio’r ffiniau ac i archwilio ein potensial. Mae’r arddangosfa hon yn ein dangos yn rhoi cynnig ar rywbeth newydd, yn gweithio gyda’n gilydd i greu gwaith celf, gwaith ar y gweill, yn datblygu teimlad o weithio fel hyn. The Art & Friendship Group originated as a pilot art and health group which was funded and supported for its first few years by HAUL. We are a group of individuals who meet once a week to make art together. The way we work is organic, we explore ideas, try out different materials and find new ways to work with old materials. We support each other to push ourselves out of our comfort zones to explore our potential. This exhibition shows us trying something new, working together to create an artwork, a work in progress, getting a feel for working this way. 53

Stuart Evans: Ysgolion Ladders 15 Chwefror - 1 Mai 15 February - 1 May Bu Mecsico Newydd yn f’ysbrydoli wrth imi ddringo ysgolion pren garw i ogofeydd a fu unwaith yn gartrefi i Americanwyr Cynhenid Pueblo yn Bandalier. Bu’r ogofeydd yn cynnig llety a chartref diogel i’r bobl hynny flynyddoedd maith yn ôl. ‘Roedd dringo’r ysgol yn beryglus. ‘Roedd yn eich codi o’r tir a pheryglon llawr y dyffryn. Mae ‘na eirth duon, nadredd rhuglen ac hyd yn oed llewod yn dal i fodoli yn y dirwedd honno. Yr hyn a brofodd i fod y peth mwyaf peryglus i’r Americanwyr Cynhenid oedd pobl eraill. Mae ysgolion yn symboleiddio codiad i le gwell, dolen rhwng y ddaear a’r awyr, dringo i fyny i le ysbrydol. Climbing rough wooden ladders to caves which were once homes to Pueblo Native Americans in Bandalier, New Mexico inspired me. The caves had provided a safe, secure protection and home to those people so long ago. Climbing the ladder was precarious. It lifted you from the earth and the dangers of the valley floor. There are still black bears, rattle-snakes and even lions in that landscape. What proved to be most dangerous for the Native Americans was other people. Ladders symbolise a rise to a better place, a link between earth and the sky, a climb up to a spiritual place. 54

Rebwyt [Y Prosiect Deor] Reboot [The Incubator Project] 11 Ionawr - 15 Mawrth 11 January – 15 March Sefydlwyd Y Prosiect Deor i roi i wneuthurwyr sy’n dod i’r amlwg yng Nghymru y cyfle i astudio rhannau allweddol o Gasgliad Serameg y Brifysgol ac i greu gwaith newydd fel ymateb. Bu Ross Andrews a Hannah Walters yn ffocysu ar serameg hynod addurnedig Abertawe a Nantgarw yn y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg. Ystyriodd Elin Hughes waith gan Frances Richards (1869-1931), un o’r crochenwyr stiwdio arloesol cynharaf. Daeth Nathan Mullis o hyd i ysbrydoliaeth yn sgleiniau gweadol Reginald Wells (1877-1951). Gweler gwefan y Casgliad ac Archif Serameg neu ddyddiadur canolfan y celfyddydau am fanylion ynglyn ag anerchiadau, gweithdai a gweithgareddau gyda’r artistiaid. http:// www.ceramics-aberystwyth.com The Incubator Project was initiated to give Wales based emerging makers the opportunity to study key areas of the University Ceramic Collection and make new work in response. Ross Andrews and Hannah Walters focused on the richly decorated 19th Century Swansea and Nantgarw ceramics. Elin Hughes explored work by Frances Richards (1869-1931) one of the earliest pioneer studio potters. Nathan Mullis found inspiration in the textural glazes of Reginald Wells (1877-1951). Please see the Ceramics Collection and Archive website or the arts centre diary for details of talks, workshops and activities with the artists. http:// www.ceramicsaberystwyth.com

On Friday 31st January and Saturday 1st February our Youth Theatre will perform ‘Dreams of Anne Frank’ by Bernard Kops in Theatr y Werin. Dreams of Anne Frank is an imaginative play with music that de-mystifies and humanizes Anne Frank’s story of tremendous bravery.

TIRWEDD A GOLAU - TAITH ARLUNIOL TUAG AT HANIAETHIAD LANDSCAPE AND LIGHT- A PAINTERLY JOURNEY TOWARDS ABSTRACTION Dydd Sadwrn 18 a Dydd Sul 19 Ebrill / Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 April | 12 - 6pm £80 (£75) | Tiwtor / Tutor: Karen Pearce Mae’r cwrs hwn yn ystyried rôl golau a chysgod wrth baentio’r dirwedd, yn defnyddio acrylig neu baent arall sy’n seiliedig ar ddŵr. Bydd y prosiectau’n seiliedig ar arlunio, gyda thrawsnewid mewn paent tuag at led haniaethiad. Bydd rhywfaint o brofiad blaenorol yn fanteisiol, ond nid yw’n hanfodol.
