llais ac ystum fel y gallai pawb ddilyn.Parhaodd y traddodiad hwnnw trwy'r beirdd a'r adroddwyr straeon a gariodd straeon y Mabinogi, gan ddal cymunedau at i gilydd trwy wrando ar y cyd. Felly heddiw nid yn unig yr ydym yn dathlu ein nawddsant, ond gwreiddiau adrodd straeon Cymru ei hun.
π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ Dydd GΕ΅yl Dewi Hapus. Cyn i Gymru gael theatrau, roedd ganddi gynulleidfaoedd. Yn y 6ed ganrif, casglodd Dewi Sant dyrfaoedd mewn caeau ac ar lethrauβr mynyddoedd i'w glywed yn siarad. Roedd eglwysi'n rhy fach, felly adroddwyd straeon yn yr awyr agored, wedi'u llunio gan rythm,
That tradition continued through the bards and storytellers who carried the tales of the Mabinogion, holding communities together through shared listening. So today weβre not only celebrating our patron saint, but the roots of Welsh storytelling itself.
π΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ Happy St. David's Day. Before Wales had theatres, it had audiences. In the 6th century, St. David gathered crowds in fields and on hillsides to hear him speak. Churches were too small, so stories were told outdoors, shaped by rhythm, voice and gesture so everyone could follow.
Wrth i gwmni Our Town deithio tuaβr Dde i Rose Theatre, dyma ychydig o atgofion oβr adeg pan gafodd y cast eu gwisgoedd am y tro cyntaf cyn agor yn y Grand Abertawe. Mor hwyl!
As the Our Town company makes its way south to the @Rosetheatre, hereβs a little throwback to when the cast first got their costumes for the very first time ahead of opening at @SwanseaGrand. Such a lovely buzz!
Y cyfarwyddiadau llwyfan cyntaf yw: βDoes dim set a does dim props.β π Mae'r dylunydd Hayley Grindle yn rhannu sut mae llechen wag yn trawsnewid yn fyd Our Town. Gwyliwch wrth iddi drafod yr hud o gwahodd y gynulleidfa i adeiladu'r stori hon ochr yn ochr Γ’ ni.
