About this Event

HEARTLANDS - TIR Y GALON

This workshop is for people with experience of improvisation and practices that centre on ‘unknowing’ and emergent processes.

This workshop focuses on the Heart. An incredible organ with which we perceive and feel our way through life.The heart has direct connection with the brain, and vice versa, picking up information about all manner of things visible and invisible.

Countless generations, cultures, and civilisations have always had curiosity towards the heart for its anatomic and physiologic secrets, humans have always reflected about the heart as a crossroads, a place of knowings, longings, pains and pleasures.

The electromagnetic field of the heart we know can significantly affect those around us.. this is the most poetic of organs.

The ancient Greeks had this cardio-centric view of the body and the heart was the centre of our being, it was the place that the soul moved through

Now at this time in our culture with such advances in technology. We are able to name and ‘know’ a great deal about the world around us, and how we are made... But there is this other knowing, that perhaps bypasses our reasoned selves and rises up from someplace unknown within us.

We will spend the morning arriving into our sensing selves through simple scores and instructions that guide us into noticing different channels of attention as they light up through movement. We will move between moving, writing and making.Reflecting on themes of the heart that rise up through our dancing.

This workshop is suitable to for those with some experience in improvisation and who are curious about learning from their own experience.

Mae’r gweithdy hwn ar gyfer pobl sydd â phrofiad o fynegiant drwy byrfyfyr a dulliau sy’n canolbwyntio ar ‘anghydnabyddiaeth’ a phrosesau sy’n dod i’r amlwg. ( emergent)

Mae’r gweithdy hwn yn canolbwyntio ar y Galon.

Organ anhygoel yw’r galon – organ rydyn ni’n ei defnyddio i ganfod a theimlo ein ffordd drwy fywyd. Mae’r galon yn gysylltiedig yn uniongyrchol â’r ymennydd, ac i’r gwrthwyneb, gan gasglu gwybodaeth am bob math o bethau – sy’n weladwy a sy'n anweladwy.

Trwy lu o genedlaethau, diwylliannau a gwareiddiadau, mae chwilfrydedd tuag at y galon wedi parhau – am ei chyfrinachau anatomegol a ffisiolegol. Mae dynoliaeth wedi ystyried y galon fel croesffordd – man o wybodaeth, hiraeth, poen a phleser.
Rydym bellach yn gwybod bod maes electromagnetig y galon yn gallu dylanwadu’n sylweddol ar y rhai o’n cwmpas.

mae hon yn organ barddonol.

Roedd y Groegiaid hynafol yn credu mewn safbwynt cardio-ganolog o’r corff, gyda’r galon yn ganolbwynt ein bodolaeth – y man lle symudai’r enaid trwyddo.
Yn ein hoes ni, gyda’r holl ddatblygiadau technolegol, rydym yn gallu enwi a ‘deall’ llawer iawn am y byd o’n cwmpas a sut y cawsom ein creu. Ond mae gwybod arall hefyd – gwybodaeth sy’n osgoi ein hunaniaeth resymegol ac sy’n codi o rywle anhysbys o’n mewn. Yn aml, mae dawnsio gyda’n gilydd yn gwneud i’r gwybod hwn ddod i’r golwg.

Byddwn yn treulio’r bore yn cyrraedd ein hunain synhwyrol drwy sgoriau syml ac arweiniad sy’n ein hannog i sylwi ar sianelau y synhwyrau gwahanol o sylw wrth iddynt ddod yn fyw drwy symud. Byddwn yn symud rhwng symud, ysgrifennu a chreu. Byddwn yn myfyrio ar themâu’r galon sy’n codi drwy ein dawns. Byddwn yn gweithio’n unigol, mewn parau ac fel ensemble, gyda’r nod o ddod o hyd i hwylustod a rhyddid yn ein cyrff dawnsio.
Mae’r gweithdy hwn yn addas i’r rhai sydd â rhywfaint o brofiad mewn fyrfyfyr ac sydd â chwilfrydedd i ddysgu o’u profiad eu hunain.
