Gweithdai’r prynhawn

Mae'r gweithdai hyn yn rhad ac am ddim i'r rhai sydd eisoes wedi bwcio lle ar yr Arbrawf Mawr, ond os nad 'dych chi'n rhan ohono, peidiwch a cholli cyfle euraidd!
Mae croeso i chi ymuno â ni rhwng 2.00 a 4.15

DYDD SUL 2.00-3.00

• Alawon Bangor: o lawysgrif i 'blog'
Mae Mari Morgan yn ein cyflwyno i alawon o hen lawysgrifau archifau Prifysgol Bangor, gan chwarae rhai o'r alawon iddi ddarganfod ac egluro sut mae'n eu dehongli a'u cyflwyno i gerddorion y 21ain ganrif. Taflwch olwg ar ei blog: alawonbangor.wordpress.com
• Canu'n hunan-gyfeiliant
Dewisiadau a syniadau cyffrous i gyfeilio'ch hun tra fyddwch yn canu. Gyda Stacey Blythe, yn addas ar gyfer unrhyw offeryn (ar wahan i'r rhai a ddodir yn y ceg!)
• O'r llys i Langadfan
Dawnsio traddodiadol gyda Rhodri a Chris Jone
• Gweithdy'r Llwyau Rhyfedd gyda Pat Smith
Pan nad oedd unrhyw offeryn arall ar gael, defnyddiwyd llwyau i gadw'r rhythm ar gyfer dawnsio a chanu. Bydant hefyd yn cael ei chwarae mewn theatrau cerdd neu i ddiddanu pobl. Mae'r gweithdy hwn wedi'i anelu at ddechreuwyr, a byddwn yn gweithio ein ffordd drwy riliau, jigiau, polcas a dawnsiau pibgorn, gan orffen gyda darn o gerddoriaeth glasurol. Yn ddoniol iawn ac yn llawer o hwyl. Darperir llwyau.

DYDD SUL 3.15-4.15

• Gweithdy Ffidl gyda Oli Wilson-Dickson
Bydd Oli Wilson-Dickson yn arwain gweithdy i esbonio sut mae'n bosib defnyddio'r feiolin fel offeryn cyfeilio – bydd yn archwilio i ystod o bosibiliadau gweadol a rhythmig i gefnogi alawon, yn ogystal â sut i fynd ati i ddadansoddi cordiau.
• Blas ar y Pibgorn
Gyda Patrick Rimes  
• Canu Plygain

Bydd Bryn Davies o Ddawnswyr Tanat yn ein cyflwyno i’r ddawns, y gân a’r traddodiad hwn o ogledd-ddwyrain Cymru.
• Chwedleua gyda Fiona Collins   
Bydd y gweithdy yn cynnig cyflwyniad hamddenol i storiwyr, ar bob lefel, i'r traddodiad llafar. Byddwn y trafod chwedlau traddodiadol Cymreig, sydd wedi cael eu siapio a'u sgleinio gan lawer tafod i fod yn gofiadwy ac adroddadwy, a byddwch yn gadael gan fedru adrodd o leiaf un stori. Mae croeso i oedolion a phlant dros 8 oed fel ei gilydd. Byddwn yn gweithio yn Gymraeg ac yn Saesneg – ar adegau yn y ddwy iaith ar yr un pryd.

 

Bydd rhain yn agored i’r cyhoedd, a chofiwch bod gweithdai ac hyfforddiant byrfyfyr wastad yn dueddol o ymddangos fel petai ar hap hefyd!

Afternoon workshops

These workshops are free to participants already booked on The Big Experiment, but if that's not you, then don't miss out.
You're welcome to join us between 2.00 and 4.15 for a choice of workshops ranging from tasters to masterclasses. These are open to the public, and impromptu workshops always seem to pop up too!

 

SUNDAY 2.00 - 3.00

• Bangor Melodies: from manuscript to blog

Mari Morgan introduces us to 18th and 19th century tunes from the Bangor University archives by playing some of the melodies she's discovered and explaining how she goes about interpreting and making the tunes available to 21st century musicians. Have a look at her blog at alawonbangor.wordpress.com

• Sing while you play

Exciting musical choices and ideas to accompany yourself when you sing. With Stacey Blythe, suitable for any instrument (except those you put in your mouth!)

• From the court to Llangadfan

Traditional Welsh dances with Rhodri and Chris Jones.  

• The Amazing Spoons Workshop

Spoons were used to provide the rhythm for singing and dancing when no other instrument was avaliable. They were also played in the music hall or just as a party piece. The workshop is aimed at beginners, working through reels, jigs, polkas and hornpipes, finishing with a classical piece of music. Hilarious and highly entertaining. Spoons are provided.

 

SUNDAY 3.15 - 4.15

• Fiddle special    

Oli Wilson-Dickson leads a workshop on how to use violin for accompaniment – exploring a range of textural and rhythmic possibilities for supporting melodies as well as how to approach interpreting chords.

• An introduction to Pibgorn

With Patrick Rimes. A brief introduction to the dark art of playing the pibgorn (and some of its woodwind cousins). Focus will be on technique (sensible breathing, different approaches to ornamentation) and repertoire (pibgorn-friendly tunes, and how to adapt others to fit within the octave range). Some pibgyrn available to borrow. Also open to whistle players.

• Plygain for all

An hour of Plygain – Welsh traditional carols in glorious three-part harmony. Come and sing your hearts out with Arfon and Sioned.

• Cadi Ha

Bryn Davies of Dawnswyr Tanat introduces us to the dance, the song, the tradition from north-east Wales.

• Storytelling with Fiona Collins

The workshop will be a relaxed introduction to the oral tradition for storytellers at all levels. We'll work with traditional Welsh folktales, which have been shaped and polished by many tongues to be memorable and tellable, and you will go away with at least one story you can tell. Adults and children over 8 equally welcome. We will work in Welsh and English - sometimes both at once.
