Grwp Barddoniaeth Utopias Bach Poetry Group (zoom)

This month, you are invited to share poems relating to old women and mythology - Not just the "grand" stuff - classical myths and Jungian archetypes, etc. - but also all the old women of folk stories and fairy tales.

Please send your poems for this month to Iain: iain19biggs@gmail.com

The group will meet over zoom. The zoom link is the same as always: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85409719450?pwd=d1VaRktoY1QveTZWSDdaUDVKQWRkQT09

December Collaboratory Mis Rhagfyr: Archwilio ein perthynas â chwyn. Exploring our Relationship with Weeds (zoom)

Yn y Collaboratory hon, rydym yn eich gwahodd i ddod â chwyn gyda chi, i ddechrau archwilio'n greadigol gyda'n gilydd yr hyn y gallwn ei ddysgu oddi wrth a gyda chwyn?

Bydd y sesiwn hon yn adeiladu ar yr hyn a ddysgom yn Ysgol Arbrofol Dod yn Ein Coed yn 2023, a’n preswyliad yn Oriel Mostyn yn 2022. Ar ôl ychydig o archwilio chwyn creadigol, byddwn yn rhannu syniadau ynghylch a allwn adeiladu rhywbeth yn 2025, efallai ceisio cyllid i redeg rhyw fath o University of Weeds.

Byddai’n wych pe gallech chi a’ch chwyn ymuno â ni!

/|\

In this Collaboratory, we invite you to bring a weed along with you, to start to creatively explore together what can we learn from and with weeds?

This session will build on what we learned at Ysgol Arbrofol Dod at Ein Coed: Experimental TreeSense School in 2023, and our residency at Oriel Mostyn in 2022. After some creative weed explorations, we will share ideas on whether we might construct something in 2025, perhaps seeking funding to run some kind of University of Weeds.

It’d be great if you and your weed could join us!

“We need to begin to recognise how we could conspire with the plants – seeding plant-people conspiracies - connecting people and plants together to breathe together, justice for people, their plants, plants and their people” - Natasha Myers

Siarter y Coed: Charter of the Trees, Pontio
Nov

to 14 Dec

Siarter y Coed: Charter of the Trees, Pontio

Arddangosfa: Exhibition, Pontio, Bangor

Siarter y Coed | Charter of the Trees (2022) Utopias Bach, mewn cydweithrediad â GwyrddNi a LORE (Legal Origins Rights Education & Art) 

Diddymwyd y Magna Carta, dogfen sy'n tanlinellu rhyddid a rhyddid personol, yn fuan iawn ar ôl ei chyhoeddi ym 1215. Ar ôl cael ei hailgyhoeddi ym 1217 roedd yn cynnwys ail ddogfen, Siarter y Goedwig, a barhaodd yn gyfraith hyd 1971. Siarter y Goedwig Gellir dadlau bod coedwig yn arwyddocaol i fwy o bobl na Magna Carta, a anelwyd at elitaidd y wlad. Roedd Siarter y Goedwig yn ffrwyno pŵer di-rwystr y frenhiniaeth dros goedwigoedd Lloegr ac yn ailddatgan hawliau'r bobl gyffredin. Nid oedd coedwigoedd yn cynnwys coed yn unig ond roeddent yn cynnwys ardaloedd mawr o diroedd comin megis rhostir, glaswelltir a gwlyptiroedd.

Cafodd Siarter y Coed ei greu dros bythefnos gan gydweithrediad o oddeutu 20 o bobl (dynol a mwy na dynol), yn ystod preswylfa tri mis Ysgol Arbrofol Dod at ein Coed Utopias Bach yn Pontio.

Trwy ddigwyddiadau hybrid yn yr ystaffell ac ar-zoom gwnaethom ail-ddigwyddiadau hawliau dynol, hawliau natur, deddfwriaeth/cyfraith achos, a llên gwerin a chyfraith arferol ('gwreiddiol' neu 'frodorol') i greu siarter y coed.

Roedd y sgrôl a ddeilliodd o hyn, heb ei ffurio wrth i'r canol y canol ein 'coedwig ddod i feddiant Pontio' Pontio ym mis Mai 2022. Mwy o wybodaeth/dogfennaeth gweler: www.utopiasbach.org/siarter-y-coed

Charter of the Trees (2022), Utopias Bach, in collaboration with GwyrddNi and LORE (Legal Origins Rights Education & Art)

The Magna Carta, a document that underscores personal liberties and freedoms, was repealed very soon after being issued in 1215. On being reissued in 1217 it included a second document, the Charter of the Forest, which remained law until 1971. The Charter of the Forest was arguably significant to more people than Magna Carta, which was aimed at the elite of the country. The Charter of the Forest curbed the unbridled power of the monarchy over England's forests and reasserted the rights of the common people. Forests did not consist only of trees but included large areas of commons such as heathland, grassland, and wetlands.

Charter of the Trees was created over two weeks by a collaboration of around 20 people (human and more than human), during Utopias Bach's three-month Ysgol Arbrofol Dod at Ein Coed / Tree Sense Experimental School residency at Pontio. 

Through hybrid in-room and on-zoom events we re-imagined human rights, nature rights, legislation/case law, and folk-lore and customary ('original' or 'indigenous') law to create the Charter of the Trees.

The resulting scroll, was unfurled as the centre-piece our 'Forest comes to Pontio' takeover of Pontio in May 2022. More info/documentation see: www.utopiasbach.org/siarter-y-coed

Mae celf wedi ymwneud erioed â phrosesu, diogelu ac ailwampio profiadau. Ai storfa brofiadau yw celf?

Ond mae ymarfer celf sy'n canolbwyntio ar brosesau yn cynnwys llif yn hytrach na stasis. Sut mae archifo ymarfer celf sy'n canolbwyntio ar brosesau? Sut mae cynnal y llif?

Bu i Marcel Duchamp, artist Ffrengig-Americanaidd, greu amgueddfeydd cludadwy oedd yn cynnwys atgynyrchiadau o’i weithiau celf ei hun: “La Boîte-en-valise” (y blwch mewn cês). Dyma oedd ffordd Duchamp o fynd i'r afael â'r cwestiwn o sut i archifo ei waith celf. A yw hwn yn llif ymlaen i ni?

Ym 1999, aeth Christoph Schlingensief, artist Fluxus o’r Almaen, ar daith ar draws yr Almaen, gan gasglu 99 o eitemau mewn cês. Yna taflodd y cês i’r Afon Hudson. A yw hwn yn llif ymlaen i ni?

Ymunwch â ni am ymchwiliad perfformiadol i dactegau artistig i greu amgueddfa a dadwneud amgueddfa, i greu archif a dadwneud archif.

Mae croeso i chi ddod â chopïau bach o'ch gweithiau celf eich hun neu weithiau celf eraill i gael eu cynnwys yn yr ymchwiliad hwn.

Gall y perfformiad fod mewn dwy ran. Rhan un yn YOURS. Bydd rhan dau ar ffurf gorymdaith i faes parcio Glanrafon.

//

Art has always been about the processing, preservation and reworking of what has been experienced. Art works as repository for experiences?

However, process-oriented art practice consists in flux rather than stasis. How to archive process-oriented art practice? How to preserve this flux?

Franco-American artist Marcel Duchamp made portable museums containing reproductions of his own artworks: he called them his “La Boîte-en-valise” (The Box-in-a-suitcase). This was Duchamp’s way of addressing the question of how to archive his art. Is this a flux forward for us?

In 1999, German Fluxus artist Christoph Schlingensief went on a journey across Germany, collecting 99 items in a suitcase. He then jettisoned the suitcase  into the Hudson River. Is this a flow forward for us?

Join us for a performative investigation into artistic tactics to become museum and undo museum, to become archive and undo archive.

You are welcome to bring miniature replicas of your own or other artworks to be part of this investigation.

The performance might be in two parts. Part one in YOURS. Part two will take form as a procession to Glanarfon Car Park.

Perfformiad Mudiad Tywyrch: Turf Movement Performance

Tyddyn Teg, Bethel

Rhan o Wyl Cynheaf Stori’r Tir Dyffryn Peris Harvest Festival

Emily Meilleur, Irene Gonzalez, Lisa Hudson

Mae symudiad y tyweirch yn ceisio rhyng-gysylltu tyweirch o wahanol leoliadau trwy ddod â phobl ynghyd trwy dechnegau gan ddefnyddio symudiad dilys a dull systemig. Mae gan bob tir rinweddau, priodewddau a chyfansoddion penodol sy'n eu diffinio o safbwynt ecolegol. Maent yn cyfathrebu'n fewnol ac yn allanol rhyngddynt a bodau eraill mewn ffordd symbiotig.

The turf movement seeks to interconnect turves from different locations by bringing together with people through techniques using authentic movement and a systemic approach. Each land has specific qualities, properties and constituents which defines them from an ecological perspective. They communicate internally and externally between them and other beings in a symbiotic way.

Taith Tywyrch : Turf Walk

Efo Emily Meilleur

11.30yb/am Dydd Sadwrn 5.10.24 Saturday, Tyddyn Teg, Bethel

Taith cerdded dan arweiniad Emily Meilleur gan gario tywyrchen. Gwahoddir i chi gloddio darn o dyweirch, a cherdded gyda fo trwy diroedd Tyddyn Teg at y coed derw lle bydd myfyrdod pridd.

Bydd y tyweirch yn cael eu cario ar y pen yn ddelfrydol, ond gellir eu dal yn y dwylo, bag, basged neu boced.

Trwy osod y tyweirch ar ein pennau rydym yn ennill profiad gwahanol o bridd, gallwch chi deimlo ei bwysau, pa mor llonydd y mae'n rhaid i chi gadw'ch pen i gadw safle'r tywyrch arno, gallwch chi deimlo yr oerni y pridd llaith ac yn lle ein traed yn gwasgu yn erbyn y pridd, y mae yn pwyso ar goron ein penau.

//

A walk led by Emily Meilleur carrying turves. You will be invited to dig up a piece of turf, and walk with it through the lands of Tyddyn Teg to the oak trees where there will be a soil meditation

The turves will be carried ideally on the head, but can be held in the hands, bag, basket or pocket.

By placing the turf on our heads we are gaining a different experince of soil, you can feel the weight of it, how still you must keep your head to retain the turfs postion on it, you can feel the coolness of the damp soil and instead of our feet pressing against the soil, it is pressing on the crown of our heads.

Collaboratory: Reimagining evaluation. Zoom.

Collaboratory: Reimagining evaluation. Zoom.

ZOOM

At this Collaboratory, Gaia and Zen Redgrave invite you to join them in exploring:

Reimagining Evaluation

What if evaluation was a creative process that galvanised excitement and went beyond funders needs, statistics and allowed for true creative learning?

We are thinking about evaluation in a different way, what it could be and how it can add more value to you.

We would like to understand what you need from an evaluator. Often, although good, evaluation of projects can be wordy, report based and a funding necessity, but we believe it can be much more than that. We would like to offer something more creative that suits you as artists delivering projects that don’t fit into or desire to fit into the standard tick boxes, alongside providing for the needs of your funders.

Using the prompt…

‘If we reimagined evaluation as a creative process, what would you want from it and what could it look like?’

We would like to discuss, imagine and collect thoughts & desires to build into a new evaluation framework suited to your needs.

——-

We could bring in on our experiences in Utopias Bach, and the work of Francis Williams and Lisa Hudson in particular (see our evaluation frameworks on the Collaboratory page)

Grwp Barddoniaeth Utopias Bach Poetry Group (zoom)

An online reading group (at 4pm on the last friday of each month) that focuses on poems we feel relate to Utopias Bach's concerns in some way. We will take it in turn to circulate a poem (nothing too long!) and then meet online to discuss it.

This month, you are invited to share poems relating to old women and mythology - Not just the "grand" stuff - classical myths and Jungian archetypes, etc. - but also all the old women of folk stories and fairy tales.

Please send your poems for this month to Iain: iain19biggs@gmail.com

The group will meet over zoom. The zoom link is the same as always: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85409719450?pwd=d1VaRktoY1QveTZWSDdaUDVKQWRkQT09

Iacháu y clwyf - Healing the wound

Perfformiad Cabinet Performance gan Irene Gonzalez, efo Lucy Finchett-Maddock a Steph Shipley

Storiel Bangor, 15.00 - 15.30

“Falls are common, hiding behind the wound. 

 Twisted emotions and unsaid truths

 All could be collected in an instant of VISIBILITY.... 

 ... Showing the wound. A soft touch, a kind breeze...

 Coming together with purpose: bone, flesh and dust.

Healing together our wounds. "

Dehongli'r Dyffryn: Llwybrau'r Merched. Llanberis
Sept

Dehongli'r Dyffryn: Llwybrau'r Merched. Llanberis

Efo Elin Tomos

Rhan o Stori’r Tir

Mae dylanwad y diwydiant llechi yn drwm ar ddyffryn Peris ond wrth bori trwy lyfrau hanes a lluniau o’r cyfnod buan iawn y gwelwch mai nodi cyfraniad y dynion i’r diwydiant a wneir gan amlaf.

Rwy’n grediniol mai dim ond trwy chwilio a gwrando ar leisiau gwragedd, gweddwon, merched a chwiorydd y chwarelwyr y mae modd gwneud cyfiawnder â hanes y bröydd llechi.

Mi fydd ‘Dehongli’r Dyffryn: Llwybrau’r Merched’ yn daith gerdded ryngweithiol fydd yn edrych ar y profiad benywaidd o fyw yn Nyffryn Peris yn ystod oes aur y diwydiant llechi. Y bwriad ydy canolbwyntio ar hanes pum person, a hynny mewn pum lleoliad a fu’n arwyddocaol yn ystod eu bywydau. Unigolion digon cyffredin oedden nhw i gyd yn y bôn - ond mae cofnod hanesyddol ohonynt wedi goroesi am eu bod wedi ymddwyn yn ‘anghyffredin’ neu’n groes i ddisgwyliadau eu hoes ar ryw bwynt yn eu bywydau. Dw i eisiau annog y rheiny sy’n ymuno â’r daith i roi eu hunain yn esgidiau’r rhai sy’n cael eu trafod- ac i ddilyn yn ôl eu traed yn llythrennol.

This event is through the medium of Welsh

Gweithdy Adrodd Stori’r Tir : Telling the Story of the Land Workshop

Efo Claire Mace (Stori’r Tir)

2yh/pm-5yh/pm, Neuadd Goffa Bethel, 2 Rhos, Bethel, LL55 1YE

[scroll down for English]

Mae adrodd straeon yn gelfyddyd hynafol a hudolus, ac yn ddirgelwch i ni’r bodau dynol modern sydd mor gaeth i sgrin ein ffonau symudol.

Ond mae modd dysgu’r sgiliau i strwythuro stori fel ei bod yn bleserus i’w rhannu a gwrando arni.

Yn y gweithdy hwn, byddwch chi’n dysgu sgiliau syml a fydd yn eich helpu i deimlo’n fwy hyderus wrth rannu eich stori, trwy gyfres o gemau ac ymarferion syml.

Does dim angen i chi fod yn llenor, yn ddarllenwr neu’n berfformiwr. Dyma bethau syml y gall unrhyw un eu dysgu!!

Dewch ag unrhyw stori yr hoffech chi ei hadrodd gyda chi, neu ddeunydd ymchwil neu brofiad yr hoffech chi eu troi’n stori.

Mae croeso i bawb, p’un a ydych chi wedi bod i ddigwyddiad “Stori’r Tir Dyffryn Peris” o’r blaen, neu’n newydd i’r prosiect.

Gallwch weithio ar eich stori yn Gymraeg, Saesneg – neu hyd yn oed heb eiriau, drwy gyfrwng cerddoriaeth neu ddawns neu sgiliau crefft.

Digwyddiad am rhad ac yn ddim fel rhan o brosiect “Stori’r Tir Dyffryn Peris”.

Storytelling is an ancient and magical art, a mystery to us modern humans glued to our mobile phones.

But the skills to structure a story so that it is enjoyable to share and listen to are learnable!

In this workshop you'll learn straightforward tools that will help you feel more confident in sharing your story, through a series of simple games and exercises.

You don't need to be a writer, a reader or a performer. This is simple stuff anyone can learn!!

Bring along any story you'd like to tell, or some research or experiential material you'd like to synthesise into a story.

All welcome, whether you've been to a "Stori'r Tir Dyffryn Peris" event before, or are new to the project.

You can work on your story in Welsh, English - or even without words, through music or dance or craft skills.

This is a free event as part of the “Stori’r Tir Dyffryn Peris” project.
