UNIG
Preswyl cydweithredol Y+D gyda Meg a Marianne. Fe dreiliom amser gyda mxnywod* o ardaloedd gwledig a threfol yng Nghymru, gan ddod i wybod am eu profiadau o unigrwydd a bod yn unig. Gasglom straeon o gymeriadau benywaidd annibynnol o chwedlau gwerin, ac ymchwiliom bobl hanesyddol cafodd eu cyhuddo am ddewiniaeth. O'r ffynonellau yma, yn ogystal â bywyd Meg, menyw sengl 30- mlwydd oed o Sir Benfro, mi wnaethom datblygu perfformiad sain a fideo, sy'n cyfuno dawns, theatr, hwp awyrol, dogfen a chomedi.
Diolch enfawr i gefnogaeth Volcano Theatr (Abertawe), Citrus Arts (Pontypridd), lle dechreuom ein gwaith ym mis Ionawr 2024. Rydym hefyd yn ddiolchgar i Ben Duke o Lost Dog a wnaeth rhannu ei arbenigedd yn Laughton Lodge ym mis Mai 2024.

__________
A collaborative R&D residency with Meg and Marianne. We spent time with womxn* from rural and urban areas in Wales getting to know their experiences of loneliness and being alone. We gathered stories of solo female characters in Welsh folk stories, and researched historical figures who were accused of witchcraft. Drawing from these sources, as well as the life of Meg, a single 30-year-old woman living in Pembrokeshire, we developed a live audio-visual solo performance that combines dance theatre, aerial hoop, documentary and comedy.
Huge thanks for the support of Volcano Theatre (Swansea) and Citrus Arts (Pontypridd), where we began working in January 2024. Also thanks to Ben Duke from Lost Dog who gave us invaluable guidance us Laughton Lodge in May 2024.
Byddem yn rhannu ein gwaith yn mis Medi 2024/ Showings begin in September 2024.
