Qwerin
Qwerin is a contemporary dance performance by Osian Meilir that extends the boundaries of traditional Welsh folk dance. Taking inspiration from Queer club culture and the weaving, flowing patterns of folk dance, โQwerinโ is a Welsh folk dance with a twist.
Qwerin was commissioned by the Wales Outdoor Arts Consortium through Articulture‘s ‘Open Out 2021’ callout.
Mae Qwerin yn berfformiad dawns gyfoes gan Osian Meilir sy’n estyn ffiniau’r ddawns werin Gymreig. Gan gymryd ysbrydoliaeth o ddiwylliant clwb Queer a llif patrymau clymog dawnsio gwerin, mae Qwerin yn ddawns werin Gymreig wahanol i’r arfer.
Cafodd Qwerin ei gomisiynnu gan y Consortiwm Celfyddydau Awyr Agored Cymru a hynny drwy galwad ‘AgorAllan 2021’ cwmni Articulture.
Dawnswyr Talog
First set up in 1979 thanks to the vision of Eirlys and Mansel Phillips and Eirwen Davies, Dawnswyr Talog are one of Walesโ most prominent traditional dance groups. They have garnered a reputation both national and international for folk dance and have put the little village of Talog on the map.
As well as promoting Welsh folk dancing, Dawnswyr Talogโs main aim is to entertain and have fun, ensure that the richness of our dance tradition continues.
Sefydlwyd Dawnswyr Talog am y tro cyntaf yn 1979 diolch i Eirlys a Mansel Phillips ac Eirwen Davies, ac mae’n un o grwpiau dawns draddodiadol amlycaf Cymru. Maent wedi ennyn enw da yn genedlaethol ac yn rhyngwladol am ddawns werin ac wedi rhoi pentref bach Talog ar y map.
Yn ogystal รข hyrwyddo dawnsio gwerin Gymreig, prif nod Dawnswyr Talog yw diddanu a chael hwyl, sicrhau bod cyfoeth ein traddodiad dawns yn parhau.
