Wardrobe Diaries

When we saw the picture of this show in rehearsal we thought ‘We want to go to that!’ so we wanted to show you too! This show is by a brand new and very ambitious Welsh theatre company called Citrus Arts. It is all about that time when you clear out your wardrobe and you find things like your favourite Spiderman pyjamas, the clothes that belonged to your grandparents, all those odd fancy dress costumes from parties long forgotten and the clothes you bought on a whim but never wear.

It takes place on 20 foot poles which are usually used in the Chinese circus! And, as you can see from the photo, there are two tonnes of clothing on stage used in inventive ways by the international cast of actors. The show feature music by Ted Barnes (composer to Beth Orton) and the lively soulful beats of Mr Scruff. The performance is at Theatr Harlech on Sunday September 27 at 6pm. Tickets are £8 (£5 for children) in advance or £10 on the door.





Mae’r sioe hon yn gwbl newydd, wedi ei chreu gan gwmni ffres Cymreig o’r enw Citrus Arts. Mae’r sioe wedi ei selio ar y syniad o agor eich cwpwrdd dillad a darganfod pethau nad ydych wedi ei weld na gwisgo ers blynyddoedd- pethau y prynoch ar hap un diwrnod, neu hen drwsus pajamas sydd bellach dwy droedfedd yn rhy fyr i chi!

Caiff y sioe ei berfformio ar bolynion 20 troedfedd o dal, uwchben 2 dunell o ddillad wedi eu gwasgaru ar y llwyfan mewn ffyrdd arbennig a chlyfar. Bydd y sioe yn cael ei berfformio yn Theatr Harlech Nos Sul, Medi 27 am 6yh. Pris am docyn oflaen llaw yw £8 i oedolion, £5 i blant, a £10 ar y drws.

The company are also doing workshops, for those of you who want to learn a bit about how to do Chinese pole, on Friday 25 4-6pm, Saturday 26 11-1pm and Sunday 27 2-4pm at a cost of £6 per session. open to adults and children over 12.


Bydd y cwmni hefyd yn cynal gweithdai ynghyd a’u perfformiad o ‘The Wardrobe Diaries’, felly i’r rhai ohonoch sydd eisiau dysgu sut i wneud acrobatiaeth ac awyrgampau fel y goreuon, dewch yn llu! Bydd y gweithdai yn cael eu rhedeg Dydd Gwener Medi 25 4-6yh, Sadwrn, Medi 26 11-1yh a Sul Medi 27 2-4yh. Pris y gweithdai fydd £6 y sesiwn. Addas ar gyfer oedran 12+.

¡Viva!

¡Viva! Spanish and Latin American Festival of Film and Dance

Join us in a celebration of all things Spanish! From September 9th to the 12th, the theatre will be holding dance classes and showing screenings of classic Spanish films.

Join Neti Cockett in an introductory class to Flamenco dancing on Wednesday, September 9th at 7pm. Get ready to dance the night away in this special Spanish workshop for only £6 (£8 on the door). No previous experience necessary.



On Thursday 10th at 7:30pm, there will be a screening of the Spanish film, Secrets of the Heart. Set in provincial Spain in the 1960’s, the film depicts a child’s journey towards adulthood. Few films have so effectively captured the world of a child’s perceptions.

Bring along your dancing shoes on Saturday 12th for a Cuban dancing workshop. From 11am-5pm, Bill and Gaynor Jones will be teaching all the best Cuban dances- from the Cha-Cha, to the Merengue, to the classic Salsa. Again, no experience necessary, just a passion for the dance! The price for the workshop is £10 in advance, £12 on the door.




The dance inspired day will conclude with a screening of Tango at 7:30pm, a film by Carlos Saura, about one man’s quest to create the ultimate tango film.



There’s something for everyone in this special festival, so come along! Prices for the films are £5 for adults, £4 for children.
