Yn Eisteddfod y Garreg Las eleni, ar ddydd Llun y 3ydd o Awst, byddwn yn cyflwyno blas o'r fath o waith hoffwn ni greu - straeon a chymeriadau traws+ hwylus a gonest sydd yn dangos harddwch ein bywydau ni.

Hoffwn i'r prosiect cael ei llywio gan ein cymuned felly os hoffwch chi fod yn rhan cysylltwch gyda ni trwy'r ddolen yn y bio. Rydym yn edrych yn benodol am actorion a pherfformwyr ar gyfer y camau nesaf ond yn awyddus i glywed gan artistiaid traws+ o unrhyw gyfrwng am y dyfodol.

We are very proud to announce a new exciting project, Ar Traws Cymru 🏳️‍⚧️, a community theatre project with the aim of developing and platforming emerging transgender+ talent in Wales, led by the artist @leo.drayton.

This year, in Eisteddfod y Garreg Las, on Monday the 3rd or August, we will be presenting an early look at the kind of work we hope to make - fun and honest trans+ stories and charcaters that show the beauty of our lives.

We want this project to be informed by our community, so if you would like to be part of it get in touch via the link in the bio. We are particularly looking for actors and performers for the next stage, but are eager to hear from as many trans+ artists from all disiplines for the future.

Looking forward to hearing for you, see you at the Eisteddfod x

👁️ ‘Drycha arna i…’

Trwy gydol mis Chwefror, rydyn ni wedi bod yn dathlu artistiaid sy’n rhannu straeon LHDT+ ar draws y celfyddydau yng Nghymru. Heddiw, rydyn ni’n troi ein sylw at gynhyrchiad hynod bwerus a phersonol gan @cwmnifranwen a @shermantheatre a deithiodd lwyfannau Cymru y llynedd.

Wedi ei ysgrifennu a’i berfformio gan @leo.drayton, mae Dynolwaith yn dilyn stori Jac, dyn traws ifanc sy’n llywio’r straen, y tensiynau a’r holl emosiynau sydd ynghlwm â chychwyn ar y daith o drawsnewid.

O’r cychwyn cyntaf, roedd lleisiau a safbwyntiau traws yn rhan annatod o’r broses greadigol. Gyda nifer o aelodau’r tîm creadigol a’r tîm cynhyrchu yn dod â phrofiad byw o fod yn draws, siapiwyd y gwaith gyda sensitifrwydd, gofal a chydweithrediad gwirioneddol — o egin y syniad hyd at gwymp olaf y llen.

I ddysgu mwy am Dynolwaith, ewch i’r ddolen yn y bio ☝️🔗

-----

This February, we’ve been celebrating artists sharing LGBT+ stories across art forms in Wales. Today, our attention turns to a powerful and personal production from @cwmnifranwen and @shermantheatre, which toured venues across Wales last year.

Written and performed by @leo.drayton, Dynolwaith tells the story of a young trans man called Jac as he navigates the strain, tensions and emotional complexities of transitioning.

From the very beginning, trans voices and perspectives were integral to the creative process. Across both the creative and production teams, many of those working behind the scenes brought trans lived experience, ensuring the piece was shaped with sensitivity, care and genuine collaboration — from the first roots of the idea to the final curtain fall.

To learn more about Dynolwaith, head to the link in bio ☝️🔗
