Additional information

I am an artist, writer and performance maker from Felinwynt, Ceredigion, West Wales. My research and creative practice represents a continuing investigation of language, identity, place and belonging, inspired by a rural agricultural up-bringing in a predominantly Welsh speaking community. My work often uses song and autobiographical narratives as the starting point for public events and community performances exploring migration, genealogical time and the interconnectedness of people and place.  This work is currently developing into leading community choirs and working with vocal improvisation.

Artist, awdur a gwneuthurwr theatr o Felinwynt, Ceredigion, Gorllewin Cymru ydwyf i. Mae fy ymchwil ac ymarfer creadigol yn cynrychioli ymchwiliad parhaus i iaith, hunaniaeth, lle a pherthyn sydd wedi’i ysbrydoli gan fy magwraeth yn ardal amaethyddol wledig Cymreig. Mae fy ngwaith yn aml yn defnyddio caneuon a naratif hunangofiannol fel man cychwyn ar gyfer digwyddiadau cyhoeddus a pherfformiadau cymunedol sy’n archwilio amser achyddol, ymfudo a chydgysylltiad lleoedd a phobl.  Mae’r gwaith yn datblygu ar hyn o bryd i gynnwys arwain corau cymunedol a gweithio gyda byrfyfyrio lleisiol.
