Aberystwyth Arts Centre is 40! 2012/13 is our 40th anniversary - join us to celebrate four decades of wonderful theatre, music, art, film, dance, opera in one of the UK’s biggest and most vibrant arts centres!

40th ANNIVERSARY SERIES

CYFRES 40fed BENBLWYDD

Back in the autumn of 1972 when the Arts Centre opened its doors for the first time, the world was a very different place to today. Or was it? In some ways the world has moved on and changed beyond recognition - but it other areas, things are very, very familiar. How will the world be different in 40 years time, when we hope the Arts Centre will be celebrating its 80th birthday?

Yn ôl yn yr Hydref 1972 pan agorodd Canolfan y Celfyddydau ei drysau am y tro cyntaf, ‘roedd y byd yn lle gwahanol iawn i’r hyn y mae heddiw. Neu a oedd o? Mewn rhai ffyrdd mae’r byd wedi symud ymlaen ac wedi newid yn gyfangwbl - ond mewn ffyrdd eraill mae pethau yn gyfarwydd iawn, iawn. Sut y bydd y byd yn wahanol mewn 40 mlynedd, pryd y gobeithiwn y bydd y Ganolfan yn dathlu ei phenblwyd yn 80 oed?

Over the next year we’re inviting a host of leading thinkers and experts to look into the future and imagine the world in 2052. Come along and join the debate! To find out more keep an eye on our website for details.

2012/13 yw 40fed benblwydd y Ganolfan - ymunwch â ni i ddathlu pedwar degawd o theatr, cerddoriaeth, celf, ffilm, dawns ac opera wych yn un o’r canolfanau celf mwyaf a phrysuraf ym Mhrydain!

Yn ystod y flwyddyn nesaf byddwn yn gwahodd llu o feddylwyr ac arbenigwyr blaenllaw i edrych i’r dyfodol a dychmygu’r byd yn 2052. Dewch i ymuno yn y drafodaeth!

Written by and starring Jack Llewellyn (Bred in Heaven), alongside Terri Dwyer (Hollyoaks, Loose Women) and Ieuan Rhys (Pobol y Cwm, Doctor Who). Life in the small Carmarthenshire village of Trimsaran isn’t for everyone. David and Angharad Williams love it there. So does Rhodri, their eldest son, but Ruth, Rhodri’s English wife, doesn’t fit in. Feeling smothered and cut off, something has to give in this relationship and probably will very soon. Rugby comedy Bred in Heaven was one of Wales’ biggest hit shows of 2011. Now writer Jack Llewellyn turns his attention to the idea of ‘Hiraeth’ and tries to explain what makes small-town Wales so... well, Welsh! Mae awdur y sioe hynod boblogaidd ‘Bred in Heaven’ sef Jack Llewellyn yn troi ei sylw at fywyd mewn pentref bach yn sir Gaerfyrddin a’r syniad o ‘hiraeth’. Dyma ddarm theatr cynhesol a chynhwysfawr.

Tues 2 - Sat 6 October Mawrth 2 - Sadwrn 6 Hydref 7.30pm £15 (£14) CC 14.50 (£13.50) Groups £8 Australia, 1789. A boat full of murderers, thieves and marine officers arrive on a distant shore. There, an earnest young lieutenant, Ralph Clark, is set the task of directing a cast of convicts in the Restoration comedy ‘The Recruiting Officer’ to celebrate the King’s birthday. But with just two copies of the script, growing suspicion from his fellow officers, his leading lady facing the gallows, and his uncontrollable passion for one of the convict players, Ralph’s - and Australia’s - first theatre production is in trouble from the start. Inspired by real events, Our Country’s Good is a thrilling play about the redemptive power of theatre. WINNER Olivier Award for Play of the Year and New York Critics Circle for Best Foreign Play Dyma ddrama unigryw sy’n seiliedig ar stori wir y wladfa garcharorion gyntaf yn Awstralia yn y ddeunawfed ganrif. Y brif thema yw gwerth y theatr a grym gwaredol y celfyddydau. Drama sydd wedi ymddangos yn y West End a Broadway ac sydd wedi ennill sawl wobr. Dyma gynhyrchiad newydd sbon. Post show talk after the Tuesday performance.

And the Girls i n t h e i r Su n d a y Dr e s s e s The story of two characters who meet during a long wait in a queue to buy cheap rice. The Woman, a domestic worker, has brought her chair with her; The Lady, a retired prostitute, who considers herself a sophisticated woman of the world, has brought her lunch. Thus the two become interdependent, in a kind of female ‘Waiting for Godot’, where the act of waiting becomes far more important than its expected result.

Things Beginning with M How do women tell each other their stories? How do women map out their journeys through womanhood from adolescence through to old age? Where are the forums for women to share their information, secrets, facts, stories, truths, taboo subjects, wisdoms and old wives tales so that we can learn from each other?

Hornby’s story of his Arsenal fixation, is also a tale of family, football, class, identity and joy. Harking back to the days when football was the people’s game rather than the plaything of corporate sponsors and oligarchs, Fever Pitch is fast, funny, exhilarating theatre.

POCKET HENRY V

Medieval poetry and string music - the universe made audible. Bragod reveals a sound-world rich in acoustic phenomena, unlike any suggested by classical or folk music. They dance the formal binary structures of this ritual music which contrasts fixed and movable notes.

Directed by Edward Hall

‘Birds’ is a sung performance of The Seagull and The Woodland Mass, two well-known poems from the golden age of Welsh poetry, followed by Arthur’s Talk with the Eagle, a short, comic drama in verse, all from 14th century sources. The crwth accompanies the singing, with music drawn from Robert ap Huw’s manuscript of 1613. Mae ‘Adar’ yn berfformiad a genir o ‘The Seagull’ a ‘The Woodland Mass’, dwy gerdd adnabyddus o gyfnod euraidd barddoniaeth Gymreig, gydag ‘Arthur’s Talk with the Eagle’, sef drama gomig fer ar ffurf barddoniaeth, yn dilyn.

Theatre Rue

V ery Hard T imes An obsessive writer-director has recruited two friends (a street performer and an out-ofwork actress) to help him stage an obscure melodrama which he misguidedly believes has suddenly become ‘relevant’ in today’s economic climate. Opening as a deadly serious allegory of the banking crisis, the play soon begins to creak under the weight of the laboured topical references and inappropriate narrative devices, while the director turns out to be an overbearing control freak. This all proves too much for the other company members to bear; mutiny, followed swiftly by anarchy, breaks out! Age recommendation: 11+ Dyma gomedi sy’n seiliedig ar y thema o ‘bethau’n mynd o chwith’, yn defnyddio melodrama fel sbringfwrdd i archwilio sefyllfaoedd dramatig digrif.

A Night of Musical Theatre

Ti m o n Of Athens Simon Russell Beale takes the title role in Shakespeare’s fable of consumption, debt and ruin. Wealthy friend to the rich and powerful, Timon of Athens is surrounded by free-loaders and sycophants. He vastly outspends his resources but, finding his coffers empty, reassures his loyal steward that all will be well.

Choreographer - Rachel West Musical Director - Ross Doodson

When he calls upon his associates, instead of offering help, they hang him out to dry. After a final, vengeful banquet, Timon withdraws to a literal and emotional wasteland, living off roots and pouring curses on a morally bankrupt Athens.

The evening promises to delight all lovers of musical theatre with hit musical theatre songs from the most popular musicals past and present performed by the top talents of our resident theatre companies.

Part of National Theatre Live - the best of British theatre broadcast live to cinemas worldwide. 3 hours, including and interval. Showing in HD in our theatre. Chwedl anghyffredin Shakespeare gyda’r actor blaenllaw Simon Russell Beale yn chwarae’r brif ran.

Written and performed by John Edgar

Oh W h i s t l e . . . . Tw o G h o s t St o r i e s B y M .R . James

Peter Doran directs a cast of thirteen - young lovers, warring fairies and mischievous Mechanicals - who meet in a moonlit forest in this magical adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic comedy. Set on the home front during the Second World War, this new production tells of an old class structure weakened by the destructiveness of war. Yet despite the conflict, romance is in the air, and people live life for the moment. Free post show Q&A. Peter Doran sy’n cyfarwyddo cast arbennig o dri ar ddeg - cariadon ifanc, tylwyth teg rhyfelgar a mecanwaith direidus - sy’n cyfarfod mewn fforest olau lleuad yn yr addasiad hudol hwn o gomedi glasur Shakespeare. Supported by the Welsh Government and the Arts Council of Wales through the National Performing Arts Touring scheme.

Things used to go bump in the night all the time in nineteenth century Brittany. If you were really unlucky, you might even meet up with who - or what was doing the bumping… Writer, storyteller and performer John Edgar’s show is a collection of dark, eccentric and often bleakly funny stories of Breton life, and death, after sunset, in a land where daytime is for the living but night is the exclusive province of the dead. John Edgar is a writer and storyteller. He has also written a number of scripts for professional and young people’s theatre companies, and has had two original playscripts produced on BBC Radio 4. Free post show Q&A. Perfformiad solo o adrodd straeon tywyll, ecsentrig ac weithiau doniol gan y perfformiwr blaenllaw John Edgar.

150 years since his birth, and well over a century after they were first published, the ghost stories of M R James retain their power to terrify and amuse. Following his successful visit here two years ago, Robert Lloyd Parry brings two more of James’ classic spine-chillers back to life. ‘Oh Whistle’ is a tale of nocturnal horror on the Suffolk coast and considered by many to be the author’s masterpiece. It is beautifully complemented here by The Ash Tree, a story of witchcraft and vengeance down the generations. Suitable for ages 13+ Yn dilyn ei ymweliad hynod lwyddiannus â’r Ganolfan dwy flynedd yn ôl, mae Robert Lloyd Parry yn rhoi bywyd newydd i ddwy o straeon ysbryd iasol M R James.

The Arts Centre’s Youth Theatre conjures up a host of unforgettable characters in this contemporary adaptation of the Dickens’ classic to celebrate the Dickens Centenary Year.

Mind Out Separating mind from body and character from performer, Mind Out explores the impossible question of what it is like to be mindless. Each of the five performers is split into two. Each acts as the mind of another, giving simple instructions for action, formulating speech and expressing otherwise silent thoughts, while their own body responds to controls given by someone else. With constantly shifting relationships, minds and bodies shared between two, three or even all of the performers, it becomes increasingly difficult to discern who is in control. “This is postdramatic theatre meets Buster Keaton. Enjoy.” Time Out **** Darn o theatr unigryw sy’n ceisio gwahanu’r meddwl oddi wrth y corff a’r cymeriad oddi wrth y perfformiwr.

The Bay City Rollers Story

touring in 2012! The outstanding, soul-influenced group had hits in the late 80s and 90s from their million selling album of the same name including Forgotten Town, Born Again, Ideal World, Hooverville... shortly followed by the number one hit album Colours which heralded the magnificent tracks Words and Father.

The music of the Bay City Rollers became the soundtrack for a generation of teenagers growing up in the mid 70’s. Massive hits such as ‘Bye Bye Baby’, ‘Shang A Lang’ and ‘Give A Little Love’ propelled the band to worldwide superstardom and their trademark Scottish tartan was to be seen everywhere across the planet.

Fast forward 25 years and the group are still headed by their unique selling point ... the smooth toned Mr Christian ... who sounds (and looks) as good as ever!

Les McKeown has come through the extreme highs and lows of life’s great road and he is here to tell us all about it. All the hits songs are there and audiences are promised a fantastic night of fun and nostalgia as they take a trip back to those innocent days of growing up to the sounds of The Bay City Rollers.

With a brand new album launch in May 2012 and the re-release of the anniversary albums early in the year 2012 looks to be a great year for their return! “One of the best voices of the decade” The Daily Mirror

Aberystwyth Arts Centre C hristmas Production

Th e Dr e a m i n g B e a u t y A new play with music by Richard Hull & Jak Poore A long time ago, a King and Queen were blessed with the birth of a beautiful baby daughter. Her splendour was such that she was christened ‘Beauty’. However, her life was cursed by an ancient witch, whose bitterness led her to place a spell on the young princess, condemning her to eternal sleep. As she lies dreaming, the world continues to turn... Specially commissioned by Aberystwyth Arts Centre, this new play with music remains faithful to the original stories of the beautiful princess who falls into a cursed sleep for one hundred years. A Christmas treat for the whole family.

Wedi’i chomisiynu’n arbennig gan y Ganolfan, mae’r ddrama newydd hon gyda cherddoriaeth yn aros yn ffyddlon i’r stori wreiddiol am dywysoges hardd sy’n syrthio i gwsg dan felltith am gan mlynedd.

GALLERY 1 ORIEL 1

26 Sept - 10 November 26 Medi – 10 Tachwedd

David Garner: Future Tense David Garner is a sculptor who works with recycled materials and found objects to create works which are visually arresting, satisfyingly quirky in execution and often punningly titled. However, what has always distinguished this artist is his clear and undiminished articulation of right and wrong and his engagement with politics in his works. The artworks in Future Tense reflect a world in flux, the human cost uncounted; the works speak of labour and class in our society: both the loss of jobs as well as lives lost to repetition; and touching on the economy, housing, education and the effects of globalisation. The work does not preach nor offer a solution, but reflects the way we organise our society; despite the leavening of humour a sense of outrage or sadness is never far away. Opening of the exhibition: Friday 5 October, 7pm. Free event - all welcome.

Cerflunydd yw David Garner sy’n gweithio gyda deunyddiau sydd wedi eu hail-gylchu i greu darnau sy’n drawiadol yn weledol, yn gwbl wahanol, gyda theitlau clyfar sy’n chwarae gyda geiriau. Fodd bynnag, yr hyn sydd mwyaf nodweddiadol am yr artist hwn yw ei fynegiant clir a chadarn o’r hyn sy’n iawn ac nad yw’n iawn; ei ddatganiadau am y byd gwleidyddol yn ei waith. Mae’r darnau a arddangosir yn ‘Future Tense’ yn adlewyrchu byd sy’n newid, y gost ddynol nad yw’n cael ei chyfrif; mae’r darnau’n sôn am lafur a dosbarth yn ein cymdeithas: colli swyddi yn ogystal â bywydau a gollir yn sgil ail-weithredu; cyfeirir hefyd at yr economi, tai, addysg ac effeithiau’r sefyllfa fydeang. Nid yw’r gwaith yn pregethu neu’n cynnig atebion, ond mae’n adlewyrchu’r ffordd yr ydym yn trefnu ein cymdeithas; er gwaetha’ presenoldeb hiwmor, ‘dyw’r teimlad o ddicter neu dristwch bydd yn bell i ffwrdd. Agorir yr Arddangosfa ar Nos Wener 5 Hydref am 7pm. Yn rhad ac am ddim - Croeso i bawb.

Transmitter/Receiver The Persistence of Collage This exhibition considers the use of collage in recent British art, with over 50 works drawn from the Arts Council Collection. The show traces uses of collage from the influences of the Parisian avant-garde in the early work of Ben Nicholson and Surrealists Eileen Agar and Roland Penrose, through to present day practitioners. Works range from traditional collage on paper to more experimental applications in sculpture and film, with artists including Grayson Perry, Ben Nicholson, Eduardo Paolozzi, The Hackney Flashers, Richard Hamilton, Patrick Caulfield and Chris Ofili. The exhibition title Transmitter/Receiver comes from the words of French critic Nicolas Bourriaud, ‘we are no longer either passive receivers or authoritative cultural transmitters, but potentially both simultaneously’. Exhibition Partners: Arts Council, England; Hayward Touring, Southbank Centre

Mae’r arddangosfa hon yn ystyried defnydd gludwaith mewn celf Brydeinig ddiweddar, gyda thros 50 o ddarnau o Gasgliad Cyngor y Celfyddydau. Mae’r arddangosfa yn dilyn olion dylanwad yr avant-garde Parisaidd yng ngwaith Ben Nicholson a’r Swrrealyddion Eileen Agar a Roland Penrose, hyd at ymarferwyr y cyfnod presennol. Maer gwaith yn amrywio o ludwaith traddodiadodl ar bapur i ddarnau mwy arbrofol mewn cerflunwaith a ffilm, gydag artistiaid sy’n cynnwys Grayson Perry, Ben Nicholson, Eduardo Paolozzi, The Hackney Flashers, Richard Hamilton, Patrick Caulfield a Chris Ofili. Daw teitl yr arddangosfa ‘Transmitter/Receiver’ o eiriau’r adolygydd Ffrengig Nicolas Bourriaud, ‘nid ydym bellach yn dderbynyddion goddefol neu’n drosglwyddyddion diwylliannol awdurdodol, ond mae gennym y potensial y fod y ddau ar yr un pryd.’ Partneriaid Arddangosfa: Cyngor Celfyddydau Lloegr; Hayward Touring, Canolfan y Southbank.

Kiss Kiss Kill Kill This exhibition, curated by Richard Rhys Davies, shows promotional posters for espionage films made on both sides of the Iron Curtain during the Cold War. Different graphic styles in the East and West provide a snapshot of European taste, national identity and politics during this period, with the kitsch of Italian cinema posters juxtaposed with the low-tech of non-commercial Czech film posters. Mae’r arddangosfa hon, dan ofal y curadur Richard Rhys Davies, yn dangos posteri’n hyrwyddo ffilmiau ysbïo a wnaethpwyd ar y ddwy ochr i’r Llen Haearn yn ystod y Rhyfel Oer. Mae gwahanol ddulliau graffeg yn y Dwyrain a’r Gorllewin yn darparu ciplun o steil, hunaniaeth genedlaethol a gwleidyddiath Ewropeaidd yn ystod y cyfnod hwn, gyda kitsch y posteri ffilm Eidalaidd yn cael eu gosod ochr yn ochr â’r posteri ffilm Siecaidd anfasnachol.

Zoe C hi lderley: P etrified in Storyland This exhibition presents a series of photographs made by Zoe Childerley in Wales in 2011 and 2012, pursuing a project begun during her artist’s residency at the Arts Centre. The images explore the relationship between Welsh mythology, cultural identity and the visual residues found the landscape. Childerley collaborated with Welsh people who took her to places of mythological significance; resulting in a series of both landscape and portrait works which reflect people’s connection to their land by means of stories - both those passed down through generations as well as new tales. Mae’r arddangosfa hon yn cyflwyno cyfres o ffotograffau a wnaethpwyd gan Zoe Childerley yng Nghymru yn 2011 a 2012, yn sgil prosiect a ddechreuwyd yn ystod ei chyfnod fel artist preswyl yng Nghanolfan y Celfyddydau. Mae’r delweddau yn archwilio’r perthynas rhwng mytholeg Gymreig, hunaniaeth ddiwylliannol a’r gweddillion gweledol a ddarganfyddir yn y dirwedd. Bu Childerley yn cydweithio gyda Chymry a aeth â hi i lefydd o arwyddocâd mytholegol; y canlyniad yw cyfres o ddarnau tirlun a phortread sy’n adlewyrchu cysylltiadau pobl â’u gwlad trwy gyfrwng straeon - y rhai a basiwyd i lawr trwy’r cenedlaethau yn ogystal â straeon newydd.

ARTISTS IN RESIDENC e ARTISTIAID PRESWYL Artists in Residence, from the UK and abroad, have their studios in Creative Units 1,2& 3 next to the Arts Centre. Each artist spends three months in Aberystwyth developing their work; during this time they give a public talk about their practice as well as holding an Open Studio at the end of their stay. All residencies take place thanks to additional funding and we are grateful to the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Laura Ashley, Garfield Weston, Charles Wallace Trust, Wales Arts International, Meduse Quebec, Finnish Art Studio and Umbrella Arts Australia.

Elise Simard Canada While completing her degree in Fine Arts in Montreal, Elise discovered film animation-an art form that has become her main practice. Her short animated films are powerfully atmospheric, mixing experimental and traditional animation technique; she experiment with low-fidelity reproduction and recording processes (such as cyanotypes and pinhole photography) as well as light, photographic filters and distortion to create her effects.

Jennifer Price Jennifer Price harnesses basic and traditional printmaking methods, then stands them on their head – the results cross boundaries of printmaking, drawing, sculpture, site-based installation, and public intervention. The work addresses our material culture and the purpose of the visual artist in a complicated age of media, as well as taking into account the role of the viewer in the interpretation of each work of art.

David Brazier & Kelda Free make site responsive works through a trans-disciplinary approach which includes video, photography, installation and constructed situations. They frequently collaborate with non arts-based participants, allowing unexpected outcomes to develop the content of the work and starting points for new artistic projects. “These artists’ projects combine an innovative use of social forms and gestures with a very focused sense of political inquiry.” (Ted Purves, Chair of MFA, California College of the Arts).
