Butterfly Soup with Eugenia

8 June | 7.30–9pm
At Ardour Academy

An expressive movement and art-making session that invites release, play and a soft return to yourself.

Using rhythm, music and embodied exploration, we begin by ripping paper as a cathartic way to let go. From the fragments we create our own collaged artwork, transforming destruction into something new and intentional. We close with guided free movement, moving however feels right in the moment.

Donation based thanks to support from Arts Council of Wales.

Butterfly Soup is a creative space for the Deaf and LGBTQ+ community and allies. All are welcome. BSL accessible.

We hope you can join us!

Butterfly Soup gyda Eugenia

8 Mehefin | 7.30–9pm
Yn Ardour Academy

Sesiwn o symudiad mynegiadol a chreu celf sy’n gwahodd rhyddhad, chwarae a dychwelyd yn ysgafn at eich hunan.

Gan ddefnyddio rhythm, cerddoriaeth ac archwilio corfforol, byddwn yn dechrau drwy rwygo papur fel ffordd cathartig o ollwng gafael. O’r darnau byddwn yn creu ein collage ein hunain, gan droi dinistr yn rhywbeth newydd a bwriadol. Yna symudiad rhydd wedi’i arwain gan y teimladau rydyn ni wedi’u darganfod.

Ar sail rhoddion diolch i gefnogaeth Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru.

Mae Butterfly Soup yn ofod creadigol i’r gymuned Fyddar a LGBTQ+ a’u cefnogwyr. Croeso i bawb. Hygyrch i BSL.
