The Zombies The Zombies emerged in the 60s as one of British Invasion’s most adventurous and musically sophisticated outfits, with such hits as ‘She’s Not There’, ‘Tell Her No’ and ‘Time of the Season’. Despite its success, the group chose to disband after a whirlwind three years. In the years that followed Colin Blunstone built an acclaimed body of work as a solo artist, often working with Argent and fellow ex-bandmate Chris White. Rod Argent achieved substantial success with the band the bore his surname, and established a prolific career as a producer. Argent and Blunstone reunited in 1998, and now the modern-day Zombies remain one of rock’s hardestworking touring bands, continuing to perform for a fiercely loyal audience. ___ Grŵp a ddaeth i’r amlwg yn y 60au fel un o fandiau mwyaf anturus a soffistigedig y cyfnod.

Power in the Land Nuclear power past and future has been very much in the news recently. The artist group X-10 bring together the fruits of 2 years working together around the closure and decommissioning of Wylfa, the last nuclear power station in Wales and the last and largest of the Magnox stations, closing in December 2015. Working in video, photography, sound, sculpture, installation and alternative photographic processes the artists have tried to come to terms with the conundrums of nuclear power and our energy futures within the environment. Each artist has responded in their own way and in dialogue with each other, to the physical and energetic presence of the power station, the future legacy for the Anglesey site and to the complex associations of nuclear power. Ant Dickinson, Annie Grove-White, Helen Grove-White, Bridget-Kennedy, Jessica Lloyd-Jones, Chris Oakley, Teresa Paiva, Robin Tarbet, Tim Skinner, Alana Tyson

Honno Writing Workshops Heroes, Villains and Shapeshifters: Juggling Archetypal Characters with Rosie Dub Sunday 15 May 2–5pm £18 (£15) An understanding of archetypes is a useful tool for writers. Through discussion, readings and writing exercises we explore a range of archetypes and consider how we might use them to create complex and credible characters in our stories. Rosie Dub is the author of two novels, Gathering Storm (Penguin 2008) and Flight (HarperCollins 2012). She has just completed a new novel and is also working on a nonfiction book called the Alchemy of Story. Rosie is also an editor and mentor, and is currently a Creative Writing Fellow at Aberystwyth University. Writing the Borders of place and self with Emma Musty How does place function in your writing? How does it define your characters and strengthen your story? Which borders are crossed and which remain solid? In this workshop we will use exercises that allow you to explore the potential of the periphery to be a place of creativity and growth and ways in which writing the borders of place and self can be used to create strong and impactful prose.
Emma Musty has just completed a Creative Writing PhD at Aberystwyth University. Her work has appeared widely both in print and online in publications including Aesthetica and Cheval 5, published by Parthian. Both of her novels were longlisted in the Mslexia Novel Prize 2014. She currently teaches at Aberystwyth University and provides creative writing workshops in the community. A Writer’s View of Editing: When? Why? How? With Katherine Stansfield Sunday 17 July 2–5pm £18 (15) In this interactive session we’ll explore the necessary but often maddening process of editing your writing, covering practical ways to view your work objectively rather than subjectively and so see the wood for the trees, as well as looking at different kinds of editing. Katherine will share her experiences (and mistakes to avoid) as an author and poet who has worked with a number of different editors. Katherine Stansfield’s award winning debut novel, The Visitor, was published by Parthian in 2013. Playing House, her first collection of poems, was published by Seren in 2014. A Lecturer in Creative Writing at Aberystwyth University for a number of years, she now writes, edits and teaches freelance.

Gallwn gadw tocynnau a archebir yn eich enw am bedwar diwrnod. Ar ôl hynny, cânt eu rhyddhau i’w gwerthu. Os byddwch yn archebu tocynnau ar ddiwrnod y digwyddiad/ ffilm, bydd yn rhaid i chi dalu’n llawn wrth archebu. Os byddwch wedi archebu tocynnau a heb dalu amdanynt erbyn diwrnod y digwyddiad/ffilm, cânt eu rhyddhau i’w gwerthu.

Refunds and Exchanges If for any reason you find you are unable to make a performance or screening you have booked seats for, your tickets can be returned up to two days in advance of a performance, and we will issue you with a full credit note. Alternatively we can exchange your tickets for a more suitable performance of the same show or film, or in the event of a full house we will do our best to re-sell your tickets for you at no additional charge (although this cannot be guaranteed). This does not apply to courses.
Latecomers In order to minimise disturbance to other customers and performers, latecomers may be asked to wait until a convenient moment before being allowed into an auditorium. No refund will be given for customers who miss parts of performances due to lateness. Please note - it is often not possible to admit latecomers to the studio at all once the performance is underway.

Neu gallwn newid eich tocynnau am berfformiad mwy cyfleus o’r un sioe neu ffilm. Os bydd y tocynnau i gyd wedi’u gwerthu, fe wnawn ein gorau i ailwerthu eich tocynnau i chi heb gost ychwanegol (ond ni allwn addo gwneud hyn).
Hwyrddyfodiaid Er mwyn tarfu cyn lleied ag y bo modd ar gwsmeriaid eraill a pherfformwyr, gellir gofyn i bobl sy’n cyrraedd yn hwyr aros tan y bydd yn gyfleus cyn mynd i mewn i awditorium. Ni fydd pobl sy’n colli rhannau o berfformiadau am eu bod yn hwyr yn cael ad-daliad.
