illyria

twelfth night

by William Shakespeare

Following a shipwreck, Viola is washed ashore in Illyria, a country where everything is illogical, delirious, and completely topsy turvy. It could all end in tears - even if most of them are of laughter. Illyria presents an evening of romance, music and sheer and utter joy, performed on a stage inspired by those of the mediaeval touring troupes.

Mae cwmni Illyria yn cyflwyno noson o ramant, cerddoriaeth a phleser llwyr, yn perfformio ar lwyfan a ysbrydolwyd gan y rhai a ddefnyddwyd gan y trwpiau actio canoloesol. Mae’r cwmni wedi ennill 4 gwobr ryngwladol am berfformio gwaith Shakespeare. Dyma nhw bellach yn eu hugeinfed flwyddyn.

Poland has undergone significant changes throughout its history and recent, primarily economic, changes under the 'shock therapy' doctrine have had a dramatic impact.

Notes from the Edge of the East follows Karl Naylor, a British teacher living in Krakow, as he shows why he feels the identity of Krakow is being eroded by property development and irresponsible tourism. The catch is that Karl isn't Polish and has other outside factors that affect his ability to live comfortably in a country negotiating change.

ntw and rimini protoKoll (helgard haug, stefan Kaegi, daniel wetZel) with aBerystwyth arts centre

outdoors

Directors Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi, Daniel Wetzel, Rimini Protokoll

National Theatre Wales has joined forces with Berlin’s pioneering reality theatre-makers Rimini Protokoll to create their first UK commission – in Aberystwyth.

For ‘Outdoors’ two groups and two traditions are taken apart and set together in a new order: the group of a local choir with its powerful tradition of joining the same lines and taking breath in the same millisecond and the audience group: people all coming to the same place at the same time and looking in the same direction without talking. What happens if both parties are split up into individuals who start whispering, follow traces to the backdoor and meet ‘Outdoors’ virtually or personally?

Multi-award-winning Rimini Protokoll is based in Berlin and is recognised as one of the leaders and creators of the theatre movement known as 'Reality Trend'. Each project begins with real people in a specific place, and is then developed through an intense exploratory process.

Performed once a week for a year, Outdoors premiered in February 2011. Audiences will assemble at a central location in Aberystwyth and be taken on a singular journey with a joyful collective finale.

Mae National Theatre Wales yn ymuno â theatr realiti arloesol o Berlin sef Rimini Protokoll i greu eu comisiwn cyntaf yn y DU - yn Aberystwyth.

Ar gyfer ‘Outdoors’ mae dau grwˆp a dau draddodiad yn cael eu gwahanu ac wedyn eu gosod yn ôl at ei gilydd mewn trefn newydd: y ddau grwˆp yw côr lleol gyda’i draddodiad pwerus o gyd-ganu’r un nodau a geiriau ar yr un amser, a’r gynulleidfa sef cannoedd o bobl sy’n dod i’r un lle ar yr un pryd ac yn edrych i’r un cyfeiriad heb siarad. Beth sy’n digwydd os yw’r ddau barti yn cael eu hollti’n unigolion sy’n dechrau sibrwd a dilyn cysgodion?

the new man: four exercises in utopian movements

The New Man is an exercise in ‘active reception’; a performance without actors or stage. There is nothing to see except for the activity of the audience. Dispersed in the theatrical space, all are listening to audio devices that propose gestures and movements. But the audience is not listening to the same things at the same time. It is split up into four groups and for fifteen minutes each group listens to one of the positions, then their programme changes and their role is transferred to another group, while they receive a new position. In the end every group of listeners will have tested and quoted every aspect, gradually gaining insight into what is going on around them.

Dyma ymarfer mewn ‘derbyniad gweithredol’; perfformiad heb actorion ar y llwyfan. ‘Does dim i’w weld ond am beth sy’n digwydd yn y gynulleidfa.

desire lines

by Ian Rowlands Director Irina Brown Designer Chloe Lamford

“So much can happen in a day... moment leading to moment, and before you know it, there’s a life!”

The journey of a man around Wales. The journey of a soul through the seven ages of man. The journey of a small country towards a coming of age and a better future…

Wryly funny, heartfelt and lyrical, Desire Lines traces the pulls and pushes that lead and drive us through life. How do we decide on a place to call home and if we could live it all again, what would we change?

Yn ddoniol, yn deimladwy ac yn farddonol mae’r perfformiad hwn yn dilyn y dylanwadau sy’n ein harwain a’n gyrru trwy fywyd. Sut ydym yn dewis y lle yr ydym yn galw’n gartref a phe medrwn wneud y cyfan eto, pa beth a wnawn yn wahanol?

Two stories of the hunting of the hare, from the Welsh woods and the wild Lancashire hills. Stories of deeply rooted traditions and superstitions, of beauty, compassion and redemption. One from the 9th Century, of Melangell, a girl who lived in the woods of the Pennant valley and protected the animals and trees around her, and a another from living memory of a small rufty tufty boy from Pendle Forest who followed in Melangell’s footsteps.

Storytellers Milly Jackdaw and Peter Stevenson tell the two tales in dialogue, with music by the extraordinary cellist, singer and composer Ailsa Mair Hughes.

waKing exploits

serious money

It’s 1987; Thatcher’s in power, and the City is heading toward financial meltdown.

The economy is growing out of control and the rhythm of the trading pit is changing forever, corruption is rife and making money is the only goal.

Enter a world of finance where packs of traders and brokers make the decisions that shape our lives.

When a trader is found dead, morals are stretched to the limit as everything gets called into question.

Serious Money presents a surreal take on the power of money and the struggle between morals and personal greed.

Directed by Mathilde Lopez, Caryl Churchill’s dark yet poetic piece explores the financial system and our greed, dormant primal instinct and insatiable appetite for wealth.

Mae’r darn tywyll hwn, sydd eto’n farddonol, yn archwilio system cyllidol ein gwlad a’n chwant di-ddiwedd am gyfoeth.

This project is supported by the Arts Council of Wales. Cefnogir y prosiect gan Gyngor Celfyddydau Cymru.

the Blues Band

Paul Jones • Dave Kelly Rob Townsend • Gary Fletcher Tom McGuinness

The Blues Band was formed in 1979, by ex Manfred Mann group members, Paul Jones and Tom McGuinness, originally to play a few pub gigs on Paul Jones’ nights off from his then full time career as an actor in London’s West end. The blues had always been their first love, indeed Manfred Mann for a short time backed Sonny Boy Williamson. Tom’s first band - The Roosters - also included a young Eric Clapton. They (Paul & Tom) called on Tom’s old McGuinness Flint friend Hughie flint to play drums. Hughie had of course been the drummer with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers during the classic Clapton era. They next approached the renowned slide guitarist Dave Kelly, who brought in Gary Fletcher to play bass guitar. Hughie retired from the Blues Band late in 1981, and Medicine Head and Family stalwart Rob Townsend joined on drums.

Croesewir y Blues Band, a ffurfiwyd ym 1979, yn ôl i Aberystwyth! Gyda chyn-aelodau Manfred Mann Paul Jones a Tom McGuinness mae’r band yn dal i fynd o nerth i nerth ac maent yn ffefrynnau mewn gwyliau cerdd ledled Ewrop.

uK to Beij ing – By Bicycle

Chris Smith rode his bicycle 16,500 miles from Worcestershire to Beijing. For thirteen months his lungs and legs powered him into headwinds, across deserts and up to mountain passes (and a wonderfully indomitable, reliable and adaptable source of power they proved to be). He set out with neither accomplice, television crew nor satellite navigation.

How does it feel to trade domestic comfort and security for life as a

nomad and to pare one’s life down to the bare necessities? What is it like to push at the frontiers of one’s physical and mental endurance?

Chris speaks about the importance of having a dream - and about how he wore out three sets of tyres, three chains, two pairs of boots, and fell off the bike six times.

By Keith Dawson & Gawen Robertson Director - Richard Hull Musical Director - Ric Lloyd Choreographer - Rachel West

Set just before the outbreak of World War 2, We’ll Meet Again follows the exploits of a group of children as they learn new skills at school - donning gas masks, hearing sirens and being instructed in the safety of the air-raid shelters. At the outbreak of War, we see the children at the railway station making their tearful farewells before evacuation. All this takes place during what was known as the (phoney war) - a time when many parents felt that the threat of bombing had been exaggerated, and by early 1940 most of children had returned to their homes. We meet the children back home, bored stiff. But then, as the bombs begin to fall, the decision is made that the children must once more be evacuated to somewhere safe……

confusions

By Alan Ayckbourn

Following their hilarious performances of ‘The Exam’ in February, the Youth Theatre Plus group return with Alan Ayckbourn’s series of interlinking plays dealing with human loneliness and hypocrisy, through comic naturalism to high farce!

In all of the plays within the series, we are invited to laugh at the characters and the situations in which they find themselves. However, we cannot help but think whether we would do the same in that situation. Are we at fault in our relationships with other people as Ayckbourn’s characters are in theirs?

Yn dilyn eu perfformiad hwyliog o ‘The Exam’ ym mis Chwefror, mae aelodau’r Theatr Ieuenctid yn dychwelyd gyda dau gyflwyniad o gyfres o ddramâu cysylltiedig gan Alan Ayckbourn sy’n delio gydag unigrwydd a rhagrith dynolryw.

chess the musical

Music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus Lyrics by Tim Rice Based on an idea by Tim Rice Presented by arrangement with Samuel French Limited

One woman, torn between two World Champion chess players - one Russian, one American. Set at the height of the Cold War, it soon becomes the players are pawns in a much bigger game - far more is at stake than a simple game of chess.

So will the Queen choose her King, will West take East, or will it be Checkmate...

The team behind the record breaking production of ‘Chicago’ in 2010 return to take one of the most exhilarating shows in the musical canon. With a large, professional cast of performers, a live band, and extravagant set and costumes, this promises to be another breathtaking production!

Croeso i ‘Chess’ sef Sioe Haf y Ganolfan ar gyfer 2011! Cyfunir sgôr wych gan y meistri cerddorol y tu ôl i ABBA, Bjorn Ulvaeus a Benny Andersson, a geiriau Tim Rice i ffurfio sioe gerdd sydd wedi ennill enw da a phoblogrwydd ledled y byd.

ultimate eagles

Covering the Eagles music is not a thing you attempt half-heartedly. The songs are deceptively complex, particularly the vocal arrangements and more importantly, the songs are revered throughout the world. Ultimate Eagles recreate the music with reverence, excitement and with a new stage show that focuses it’s bright lights on the 1970s, when the Eagles were at their mightiest. You just might find yourself whisked away to the sunny climes of Southern California!

One look at the Ultimate Eagles’ collective experience, musicality and professionalism, and it’s easy to understand the band's simple yet bold mission statement; to play the Eagles’ music better than anybody, anywhere. Second only to the Eagles.

Band teyrnged heb ei ail: O gymryd i ystyriaeth profiad helaeth aelodau’r band, eu talent gerddorol a’u proffesiynoldeb, mae’n hawdd deall eu huchelgais, sef i chwarae cerddoriaeth yr Eagles yn well nag unrhyw un arall.

running on air

Created by Laura Mugridge and Tom Frankland Produced by Ric Watts Developed at Camden People’s Theatre

Site specific performance. Location to be confirmed.

Performed in a vintage, yellow VW campervan called ‘Joni’ Running On Air is an award-winning show by comedian Laura Mugridge, performed for just five audience members at a time.

Recreating the beauty of the great outdoors inside the campervan, Laura invites you on an intimate journey from Lands End to Edinburgh, sharing her experience of marriage, camping and her love of the good life.

With her own brand of quirky and charming comedy, Laura describes a journey that involves fell running and a performance in front of three kestrels: a joyful investigation into the beauty and complexity of domestic life.

illyria

twelfth night

by William Shakespeare

Following a shipwreck, Viola is washed ashore in Illyria, a country where everything is illogical, delirious, and completely topsy turvy. It could all end in tears - even if most of them are of laughter. Illyria presents an evening of romance, music and sheer and utter joy, performed on a stage inspired by those of the mediaeval touring troupes.

Illyria has won 4 international awards for performing Shakespeare. In their 20th year, Illyria turns to one of the greatest of all English comedies.

Mae cwmni Illyria yn cyflwyno noson o ramant, cerddoriaeth a phleser llwyr, yn perfformio ar lwyfan a ysbrydolwyd gan y rhai a ddefnyddwyd gan y trwpiau actio canoloesol.

colourscape

A welcome return for Colourscape, a unique walk-through sculpture where you wander through interconnected chambers, experiencing the intensity and subtlety of colour which changes with your perception. From the reactions of thousands of visitors - of all ages - it is clear that colour is powerful, primary and stimulating.

The structure situated on ‘Chapel Court’, the grassy area next to the Arts Centre.

Mae’n bleser gennym groesawu’n ôl Colourscape, sef cerflunwaith unigryw lle y gellir crwydro trwy gwahanol siambrau cydgysylltiedig gan profi pob math o wahanol liwiau sy’n newid yn barhaol. Yn ôl yr adborth a gafwyd gan filoedd o ymwelwyr o bob oedran, mae’n amlwg bod lliw yn bwerus, yn sylfaenol ac yn ysgogol.

Lleolir y cerflunwaith ar Gwrt y Capel y tu allan i’r Ganolfan.

“... the colours created were beautiful and made me feel like floating on the air without gravity.”

“... the most fantastic surreal and out of this world experience. I`ve never seen or been in a sculpture like it and enjoyed the different feelings and thoughts very much. Something totally unexpected.”

“I felt I could almost breathe the colours.”

Born into a family of Gospel singers, PP Arnold began her singing career as an Ikette with Ike and Tina Turner. She came to London with them to tour with the Rolling Stones in the mid-sixties and began her solo career as the first female artist on the Immediate record. Her first single “The First Cut is The Deepest” penned by Cat Stevens is a soul classic as well as the Chip Taylor classic “Angel of the Morning”.

Her unique voice has been produced by some of the most influential artists of our time - Mick Jagger, Andrew Oldham, Mike Hurst, John Paul Jones, Steve Marriott, Ronnie Lane, Barry Gibb, Dexter Wansell, Boy George, Roger Waters and Don Was. She toured with her backing band “The Nice” (with Keith Emerson on organ) alongside The Small Faces, Jimmy Hendrix, The Who, Blind Faith, The Kinks, David Bowie and many other legendary bands.

Daeth PP Arnold i’r amlwg yng nghanol y chwedegau pan ddaeth i Lundain i ddechrau ar ei gyrfa’n canu efo Ike a Tina Turner. Ers hynny mae wedi gweithio efo llawer iawn o enwogion y degawd arbennig hwnnw ac mae ei llais unigryw wedi para ar hyd y blynyddoedd.

As part of her residency at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, artist Clare Thornton plans to create a live activity in the Gallery space. She wants to invite local residents to visit her at work in the Gallery and to bring along an object that says something about them.

She invites you to bring along an everyday item that might be used for work, a hobby, community/neighbourhood group. These objects can be large or small (to fit in a bag or in the boot of a car). Clare would like to place these materials into a 3D landscape, unique to the people and place of Aberystwyth. Each object would be carefully documented, tagged and placed into the sculptural scene for a short period, adding to a constantly shifting map of local objects. It can be collected at the end of the activity.

Aberystwyth Arts Centre is currently hosting an Artists’ Residency Programme. Two Artists will be based in the newly built studios designed by the award winning Thomas Heatherwick, for a period of 3 months throughout the year. As part of the residency, each artist will give an informal talk about their work. claudia Borgna

“Plastic bags are my main medium to construct artificial and momentary landscapes.

I cannot help but mimic the cyclic and repetitive rhythms of nature to explore the tensions between the contradictions of our neurotic but beautiful world, where the desire for creation and destruction seem to coexist side by side.” Zoe childerely

“My photographic practice emerges from an interest in the shared relationships we develop with our own sense of history and culture. The work explores our relationship with the natural world and our imagination, creating otherworldly images inspired by folk tales from around the world, crossing cultures and generations.” clare thornton

Laura Ashley Artist in Residence will also give a short presentation.

“Objects make the infinite intimate” George Brecht

“I am excited by re-working and layering materials and ideas, and exploring this process with others. Each new piece evolves out of conversations and local research - a social process of gathering personal accounts and critical responses to particular objects and thoughts. I then transform this collection of materials to produce bookworks, mixed media installations and live events.”

As part of her residency at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Clare will create a live activity in the Gallery (see page 31). She invites local residents to visit her at work and to bring along an object that says something about them. These objects can be large or small, something you might use for work or an interest or hobby. Clare will place these objects in the Gallery, creating a 3D ‘landscape’ unique to the people and place of Aberystwyth (all items will be returned).

(If you would like to contribute something to this installation, please bring it along to the Gallery from 27 May or email [email protected] to deliver it earlier)

Mae’r artist Clare Thornton yn ymddiddori mewn casglu straeon ac hynodion; gan greu cerfluniau, darnau tecstil, gwisgoedd a digwyddiadau cymdeithasol byw a ysbrydolir gan y deunyddiau a’r eitemau a gesglir ganddi. Mae’n awyddus i wybod mwy am yr atgofion a’r straeon a gynhwysir o fewn eitemau personol, ac mae’n chwarae gyda deunyddiau bob-dydd i greu gosodweithiau a ‘golygfeydd’ sy’n siarad i’r bobl a’r lleoliadau yn y lle y mae’n digwydd bod. Fel rhan o’i chyfnod preswyl yn y Ganolfan (gweler Tud 31), bydd Clare yn creu gweithgaredd byw yn yr Oriel. Mae hi’n gwahodd trigolion lleol i ymweld â hi yn ei gwaith ac i ddod ag eitem efo nhw sy’n dweud rhywbeth amdanynt. Gall yr eitemau hyn fod yn fawr neu’n fach, rhywbeth yr ydych yn defnyddio yn eich gwaith neu wrth ddilyn diddordeb neu hobi. Bydd Clare yn gosod yr eitemau hyn yn yr Oriel, gan greu ‘tirlun’ 3D a fydd yn unigryw i bobl a thref Aberystwyth (dychwelir yr holl eitemau).

wild thing

This exhibition brings together a lively eclectic selection of contemporary artworks which use animal imagery. The history of visual art is full of animals used as decoration, allegory, symbol; the way in which animals are understood and portrayed has always reflected the society of the time. The works here use different media to reflect our varied and sometimes confused feelings about our co-creatures - including fear, awe at their visual beauty, sentimentality. From Stephanie Quayle’s vigorous ceramic sculptures to Stephen Johnson’s constructed kitsch works; from Georgia Hayes expressionist paintings to Lucy Casson’s imaginative assemblages, this quirky and colourful exhibition reminds us that ultimately artists’ use of animal imagery expresses far more about human beings and the boundaries of our understanding than it does about the creatures portrayed.


Mae’r arddangosfa hon yn cyflwyno detholiad bywiog ac eclectig o ddarnau celf cyfoes sy’n defynyddio delweddau o anifeiliaid. Mae hanes celf gweledol yn llawn o anifeiliaid a ddefnyddir fel addurniad, alegori, symbol - mae’r ffordd y mae anifeiliaid yn cael eu deall a’u portreadu yn adlewyrchu bob tro cymdeithas y cyfnod. Mae’r darnau a arddangosir yma yn defnyddio gwahanol gyfryngau i adlewyrchu’n teimladau amrywiol ac weithiau cymysglyd tuag at ein cyd-greaduriaid - gan gynnwys ofn, edmygedd o’u prydferthwch gweledol a sentiment. O gerfluniau serameg bywiog Stephanie Quayle i weithiau ‘kitsch’ Stephen Johnson; o baentiadau mynegiadol Georgia Hayes i gyfosodiadau llawn dychymyg Lucy Casson, mae’r arddangosfa fympwyol a lliwgar hon yn ein hatgoffa bod defnydd yr artist o ddelweddau anifeiliaid, yn y pendraw, yn dweud llawer mwy am ddynion a ffiniau ein dealltwriaeth nag ydi am yr anifeiliaid a bortreadir.

“What have I done for you, England, my England? What is there I would not do, England, my own?” William Ernest Henley

Chris Steele-Perkins is a renowned British Magnum photographer, who moved to London from Rangoon with his family in 1949. He started work as a freelance photographer in London in the early 1970s and is well known for his work in countries including Africa, Afghanistan and Japan. For this exhibition he presents a personal view of what makes England truly English: from Sunday cricket matches to intimate family portraits, from Saturday night dancing to race riots. Each picture tells a story of a time and a place and is drawn from the body of work he has created over forty years: “an honest testament to an odd but magnificent country”. Northumbria University

Chris Steele Perkins will be running a summer course. For details contact Cath on 01970 622888 / [email protected]

Mae Chris Steele-Perkins yn ffotograffydd Magnum blaenllaw, a symudodd i Lundain o Rangoon gyda’i deulu ym 1949. Dechreuodd waith fel ffotograffydd ar ei liwt ei hun yn Llundain yn y saithdegau cynnar ac mae ganddo enw da mewn gwledydd ledled y byd gan gynnwys Affrica, Afghanistan a Siapan. Yn yr arddangosfa hon mae’n cyflwyno barn bersonol am beth sy’n gwneud Lloegr yr hyn y mae: o gemau criced ar brynhawn dydd Sul i bortreadau teuluol tyner, o ddawnsio ar nos Sadwrn i anghydfod hiliol. Mae pob darlun yn adrodd stori am amser a lleoliad, ac maent yn rhan o gorff o waith a greuwyd dros gyfnod o ddeugain mlynedd: yn ei eiriau ef, dyma deyrnged onest i wlad ryfedd ond gogoneddus. Khaled Hafez a Raed Yassin yn fwy arwyddocaol a phwerus, mewn ffyrdd annisgwyl, yn sgil y digwyddiadau diweddar. Uriel Orlow

Mae Rowan O’Neill, artist perfformio o orllewin Cymru, yn dangos dau ddarn: Ysbrydolir y cyntaf, A woman came from Catterick yn rhannol gan yr epig Gymreig o’r 6ed ganrif Y Gogoddin; mae’r ail, sef Hwyl Fawr Frank Lloyd Wright yn gofnod o berfformiad a ddatblygwyd ganddi yn Aberteifi ar gyfer dathliadau 900 mlynedd y dref.

relation & participation: approaches to performance

Symposium: Mon 2 - Tues 3 May Ligna Performance (for delegates): Wed 4 May

To book contact 01970 623232 or email [email protected]. This is a free symposium but places are limited so please book in advance.

A two day post-graduate led symposium exploring approaches to participation and relation in performance. The symposium celebrates ‘Outdoors’, the first UK-commissioned performance from Berlin's reality Theatre-makers Rimini Protokoll and of radio-theatre performance artists LIGNA's New Man (a delegates performance will take place Wednesday 4 May at 10am).

With writings from Nicolas Bourriaud, Claire Bishop and Jacques Rancière informing the visual arts and performance studies fields over the past ten years, the terms ‘relational’ and ‘participation’ have become increasingly important in describing both an aesthetics of making and an ethics of spectatorship. Practitioners are also constantly on the search for innovative ways to ‘address’ participants in their work.

People who are not able to attend in person are encouraged to watch and participate online www.relateparticipate.com

Organised by the Department of Theatre Film and TV Studies, Aberystwyth Arts Centre, and National Theatre Wales.

aBerystwyth arts centre creative units

The Creative Units project was designed to develop Aberystwyth Arts Centre’s role as a creative hub for arts businesses, arts development agencies, artists and craft workers. The mix of artists and arts businesses is a unique feature of this development with both new and established occupants interacting together in a stimulating environment to realise their economic and creative potential.

The Creative Units Project designed by Heatherwick Studio, worth £1 million, has been made possible by support from Aberystwyth University, the Arts Council of Wales Lottery Fund and the Welsh Assembly Government. Two additional studios are planned, to be built in 2011, thanks to extra funding received by the Welsh Assembly Government.

unedau creadigol canolfan y celfyddydau aBerystwyth

Bwriad yr unedau oedd datblygu swyddogaeth Canolfan y Celfyddydau fel man creadigol ar gyfer busnesau celf, asiantaethau datblygu’r celfyddydau, artistiad a chrefftwyr. Mae’r cyfuniad o artistiaid a busnesau celf yn nodwedd unigryw o’r datblygiad hwn gyda’r sefydledig a’r newydd yn cydweithio mewn amgylchedd ysgogol a chreadigol i gyflawni eu potensial economaidd a chreadigol.

Gwnaethpwyd y Prosiect Unedau Creadigol, sy’n werth £1 miliwn, yn bosibl yn sgil cefnogaeth gan Brifysgol Aberystwyth, Cronfa Loteri Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru a Llywodraeth y Cynulliad. Mae cynlluniau ar y gweill i godi dwy stiwdio arall yn 2011, yn sgil cefnogaeth ariannol ychwanegol oddi wrth Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru.
