About this Event


About the Day


The day will start with a dance class led by Richard Chappell Dance, sharing the company’s movement practice. Richard's class starts with mobilising, expanding and stretching the body through repetitive movement patterns and improvisational tasks, connecting to breath. After this, exercises are looped across the studio, connecting dancers to the ground and encouraging continuous passing of weight. Spirals are used to build up momentum, coordination and precision and small phrases connect material together before a full bodied and playful final phrase. Richard's class is designed to be energetic and fun, whilst also being accessible and adaptable for different energy levels and needs.


The second session of the day will be a facilitated discussion on artistic values, where Richard will support artists to identify and articulate the values behind their practices and the motivations for their work, with a strong focus on peer discussion to support how this information may be shared with potential funders, project partners, participants and audiences. Richard will share examples of how RCD’s values and practices are put into writing, to support artists to consider their own information materials. This session will lead into a lunch break, with a designated area for networking if wanted.


The final part of the day will focus on partnership development for independent, self producing artists. We will break down RCD’s partnership development practices, with a strong focus on the different ways artists may be able to work with organisations to strengthen funding bids and build clear narratives of activity for self produced projects, whilst growing career momentum for the artist. Time will be allocated to peer discussion to support mapping of potential future partners for each attending artist.

Trosolwg


Mae Richard Chappell Dance yn croesawu artistiaid i fynychu diwrnod datblygiad proffesiynol a rhwydweithio am ddim yn The Dance House, Caerdydd.
Ynglŷn â'r Diwrnod
Bydd y diwrnod yn dechrau gyda dosbarth dawns dan arweiniad Richard Chappell, gan rannu arferion symud y cwmni. Mae dosbarth Richard yn dechrau gyda symud, ehangu ac ymestyn y corff trwy batrymau symud ailadroddus a thasgau byrfyfyr, gan gysylltu ag anadl. Ar ôl hyn, caiff ymarferion eu dolennu ar draws y stiwdio, gan gysylltu dawnswyr â'r llawr ac annog pasio pwysau yn barhaus. Defnyddir troellau i adeiladu momentwm, cydlyniad a chywirdeb ac mae ymadroddion bach yn cysylltu deunydd gyda'i gilydd cyn ymadrodd olaf llawn corff a chwareus. Mae dosbarth Richard wedi'i gynllunio i fod yn egnïol ac yn hwyl, tra hefyd yn hygyrch ac yn addasadwy ar gyfer gwahanol lefelau ac anghenion egni.
Bydd ail sesiwn y dydd yn drafodaeth wedi'i hwyluso ar werthoedd artistig, lle bydd Richard yn cefnogi artistiaid i nodi a mynegi'r gwerthoedd y tu ôl i'w harferion a'r cymhellion dros eu gwaith, gyda ffocws cryf ar drafodaeth gymheiriaid i gefnogi sut y gellir rhannu'r wybodaeth hon gyda darpar gyllidwyr, partneriaid prosiect, cyfranogwyr a chynulleidfaoedd. Bydd Richard yn rhannu enghreifftiau o sut mae gwerthoedd ac arferion RCD yn cael eu rhoi ar waith yn ysgrifenedig, i gefnogi artistiaid i ystyried eu deunyddiau gwybodaeth eu hunain. Bydd y sesiwn hon yn arwain at egwyl ginio, gyda man dynodedig ar gyfer rhwydweithio os dymunir.
Bydd rhan olaf y diwrnod yn canolbwyntio ar ddatblygu partneriaethau ar gyfer artistiaid annibynnol, hunangynhyrchiol. Byddwn yn dadansoddi arferion datblygu partneriaeth RCD, gyda ffocws cryf ar y gwahanol ffyrdd y gall artistiaid weithio gyda sefydliadau i gryfhau ceisiadau am gyllid ac adeiladu naratifau clir o weithgaredd ar gyfer prosiectau hunangynhyrchiol, wrth gynyddu momentwm gyrfa i'r artist. Bydd amser yn cael ei ddyrannu i drafodaeth gyda chymheiriaid i gefnogi mapio partneriaid posibl yn y dyfodol ar gyfer pob artist sy'n mynychu.
Amserlen y Dydd:
Dosbarth: 10am-11.15am
Egwyl: 11.15am-11.30am
Sesiwn Gwerthoedd Artistig: 11.30am-1.30pm

Sut i Archebu
Archebwch le ar gyfer y diwrnod drwy Eventbrite.
Mae croeso i artistiaid fynychu'r diwrnod cyfan, neu sesiynau penodol yn dibynnu ar eu hanghenion. Os hoffech fynychu rhai o'r sesiynau drwy gydol y dydd ond nid pob un ohonynt, archebwch yn y tocyn ar gyfer y diwrnod ac anfonwch e-bost at [email protected] gan sôn am ba sesiynau y byddwch yn mynychu.
Oherwydd natur gymorthdaledig y sesiynau hyn, byddem yn ddiolchgar pe bai artistiaid ond yn cofrestru os ydynt yn bwriadu cymryd rhan yn y sesiynau ac os bydd yr amserlenni'n newid, byddwn yn cael gwybod cyn gynted â phosibl.
Mynediad
Os oes gennych unrhyw anghenion mynediad, rhowch wybod i ni a byddwn yn hwyluso'r gefnogaeth angenrheidiol sydd ei hangen i wneud y sesiwn yn hygyrch i chi.
