This week we’re back in the studio working with Creative Associate Phoebe Davies.
Phoebe is exploring mass communal gatherings in rural landscapes and how partying and fighting as embodied expressions of belonging, social tension, and emotional release.

Creative Associates are supported by a two-year programme of paid development to expand their practice in other artforms into dance.
_
Yr wythnos hon rydym yn ôl yn y stiwdio yn gweithio gyda'r Aelod Cyswllt Creadigol, Pheobe Davies.

Mae Phoebe yn archwilio cynulliadau cymunedol torfol mewn tirweddau gwledig, gan edrych ar bartïo ac ymladd fel mynegiannau ymgorfforedig o berthyn, tensiwn cymdeithasol a rhyddhad emosiynol.

Caiff Aelodau Cyswllt Creadigol eu cefnogi gan raglen dwy flynedd â thâl i ehangu eu hymarfer mewn celfyddydau eraill i ddawns.

We are delighted to have been awarded a Small Grant from Theatres Trust (supported by the Linbury Trust). The grant will fund improvements to the ground floor toilets making the theatre a more inclusive and welcoming space. It will provide a better experience for NDCWales, visiting companies and audiences and continues our investment in Ty Dawns (Dance House).

Rydym yn falch iawn ein bod wedi sicrhau Grant Bach gan yr Ymddiriedolaeth Theatrau (sy'n cael ei chefnogi gan Ymddiriedolaeth Linbury). Bydd y grant yn ariannu gwelliannau i'r toiledau ar y llawr gwaelod gan wneud y theatr yn lle mwy cynhwysol a chroesawgar. Bydd yn rhoi profiad gwell i CDCCymru, cwmnïau sy'n ymweld a chynulleidfaoedd, ac mae'n parhau â'n buddsoddiad yn y Tŷ Dawns.

NEXT WEEK | WYTHNOS NESA
Sadler's Wells East
24-26 September | Medi

Two desperately beautiful dance works that embodies strength of will and the power of human connection.

Theo Clinkard’s Ordinary Courage is re-staged after 14 years, and remains poignant, stunningly human and deeply moving.

2026 Olivier Award Nominee and Sadler’s Wells associate Alesandra Seutin’s Untamed is full of raw power, energy and spirit.

Dau waith dawns hynod brydferth sy’n cyfuno cryfder ewyllys a grym cysylltiad dynol.

Caiff Ordinary Courage gan Theo Clinkard ei hail-lwyfannu ar ôl 14 mlynedd, ac mae’n parhau i fod yn ingol, yn anhygoel o ddynol ac yn hynod deimladwy.

Mae Untamed gan Enwebai Gwobr Olivier 2026 ac artist cyswllt Sadler’s Wells, Alesandra Seutin, yn llawn ysbryd, egni a grym pur.
