Gweddi am Frws Gwallt was written by Nia Morais and performed by Angharad Harrop and her daughter Nansi with music by Helenn Wyn Pari. It portrays the quiet intimacy of a mother brushing her child’s hair, a simple action filled with care and worry that comes with sending a young person off to school during the pandemic.

Rewild

Recalling her childhood, a woman wonders how to reclaim her identity. Alone in nature she explores with a freedom long forgotten; climbing, running, swimming, until she realises what she has given up to be accepted. Embracing ‘wildness’, she rejects all expectations that limit her, and begins to grow again.
Created for screen, this visual poem reflects a spoken word performance by creator and dancer Krystal S. Lowe.

Rewild Ailwylltio was commissioned by Green Man Trust, for the Greenman festival 2020.

Whimsy is a two-woman dance theatre work that sparks young audiences’ imaginations through storytelling and dance.
Whimsy is the story of a young girl of colour who sees beauty in everything but herself. Through Whimsy’s love of nature and her adventures Whimsy comes to see the beauty that has been inside her all along.

“Loved the clear depiction of a little girl in love with her brown skin -which isn’t heard much in theatre.”- (Audience member)

“A genuine sparkling diamond of a show. We really loved following Whimsy on her important journey of discovery – of the world, and herself” (Audience member)
