The Newport Schools’ Dance Festival was established over seventeen years ago and takes place annually, over four evenings. It was originally set up by Newport City Council’s P.E. Advisory Service, to showcase the fantastic dance and P.E. work which takes place in Newport Schools, and also to give pupils the opportunity to perform on a professional stage.

Over the past seventeen years, the Dance Festival has continued to grow and last year, saw more than six hundred pupils, from over twenty-five of Newport’s Schools, involved. Each year, teachers and pupils work extremely hard to come up with a range of stunning costumes and outstanding dance routines, resulting in four incredible evenings of entertainment for all.

Bob blwyddyn mae’r athrawon a’r disgyblion yn gweithio nerth deg ewin i gynhyrchu amrywiaeth o wisgoedd syfrdanol ac actau dawns eithriadol, ac o ganlyniad tair noson anhygoel o ddifyrrwch i bawb. £TBC

GWYN EMBERTON DANCE

Whitney Queen of the Night

Shadow of a Quiet Society Shadow of a Quiet Society follows on from the success of Gwyn Emberton Dance’s award winning dance theatre production My People.

The lives and stories of a people from an unnamed small town, over a thousand years, are explored through Jung’s theories on archetypes and reveals what happens when a community is pitted against itself and the individual.

The cast of six women, including the internationally renowned dancer Eddie Ladd, search to understand their collective history, and the desire to mark out a name for themselves, as they seek the answers to the questions we should all be asking…

Can love win at war, is community better than the individual, will politics ever be able to control theatre, are religious rites just another form of expressing one’s freedom and does ‘Alice really come from the palace’?

Dyma chwilio bywydau a straeon pobol o dref fach ddienw, dros fil o flynyddoedd, drwy ddamcaniaethau Jung ynghylch cynddelwau, a dangos beth sy’n digwydd pan fo cymuned yn ymryson â hi ei hun a’r unigolyn. £10, REDUCTIONS GOSTYNGIADAU £8

THEATRE

A stunning celebration of the music and life of one of the greatest singers of our time. This award winning production features a stellar line-up with rising West End star Rebecca Freckleton delivering a breath-taking performance as Whitney.

Taking us on a magical rollercoaster ride through three decades of classic hits that include, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, One Moment In Time, I’m Every Woman, My Love is Your Love, So Emotional Baby, Run to You, Saving All My Love, I will Always Love You, and many more, this show beautifully remembers the most highly awarded female artiste in the world ever!

Whitney’s one true legacy was her music. Share her life and get ready for the greatest love of all in Queen of the Night!

THEATR PENA

The Glass Menagerie CYD-GYNHYRCHIAD THEATR PENA THE RIVERFRONT CO-PRODUCTION An absent father, a domineering mother, a daughter lost in a world of her own and a son intent on leaving – “The Glass Menagerie” - a family struggling to survive on fragile dreams.

Abandoned by her husband, Amanda Wingfield lives for her children and wants only what’s best for them. Her restless son, Tom, longs to escape from his domineering mother but stays for the sake of his older sister, Laura.

Desperate to find a husband for her shy and withdrawn daughter, Amanda enlists Tom’s help. But will the arrival of the long-awaited “gentleman caller” fulfil or shatter the family’s fragile dreams?

Theatr Pena’s imaginative new production promises to bring something fresh to this timeless American classic by one of the greatest 20th century playwrights.

“When you look at a piece of

delicately spun glass you think of two things: how beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken.”

21st Anniversary Tour – Welcome To The Carnevil

TUESDAY 23 FEBRUARY, 7.30PM DYDD MAWRTH 23 CHWEFROR, 7.30YH

The show that stormed into the finals of Britain’s Got Talent and is now a West End smash is back to mark its 21st Anniversary in spectacular style.

The latest incarnation, ‘Welcome to the Carnevil’ is set in Victorian London in 1899.

Jack the Ripper was still at large and this was the age of the Freakshow. A young girl dreamt of running away to join the Circus only to see her dream become a nightmare in a decrepit and corpse ridden Carnevil, plagued by a swamp of Killer Klowns, Sword Swallowers, Demon Dwarfs, Death Deifying Aerialists, a Guinness World Record holding Hairculian Diva swinging solely from her hair, back flipping & fire limbo-ing acrobats and lots, lots more. A show ruled by the undead and climaxing in an awesome flaming apocalypse.

The story twists and turns with grisly murders and sensational shocks – all interwoven with some of the greatest and most bizarre circus acts on earth, performed by an almighty cast with a forked tongue firmly in each cheek and the devil driven rock ‘n’ roll of Dr Haze & The Interceptors from Hell.

If Quentin Tarantino had directed Cirque Du Soleil then you would be only half way there.

Dyma’r sioe aeth fel corwynt i ffeinals Britain’s Got Talent ac sydd bellach yn llwyddiant sgubol yn y West End, yn ei hôl i nodi ei Pen ei Blwydd yn 21 yn grand o’i cho’.

Weird science meets hip-hop in a dance double bill that is out of this world…

In an evening of dance, comedy and extremes this double bill takes audiences on a journey from the bottom of the sea to the far reaches of the universe.

Swedish/Canadian B-boy and B-girl duo Emmanuelle Leˆ Phan and Elon Höglund aka Tentacle Tribe, bring their production Nobody Likes a Pixelated Squid to Wales in a performance inspired by creatures of land and sea. These dynamic street-dancers have sold out all over the world and their celebrated creature feature makes one half of this thrilling, fun and enlightening evening of dance.

The Wonders of the Universe from Wales’ Karol Cysewski is another kettle of fish (a pre-historic fish) offering a humorous and stimulating interpretation of the documentary of the same title. Three geeks and a celebrity scientist (voice over by Brian Cox) take an imaginative look at the origins of the universe.

Both performances will make you think, laugh and look at the world in a different way. From tiny creatures of the sea and sky, some downright fishy things that make us human, to all the wonders of the universe.

Gwyddoniaeth ryfedd yn cwrdd â hip-hop mewn rhaglen ddawns ddwbl sy’n benigamp. Mewn noson o ddawns, comedi ac eithafion mae’r rhaglen ddwbl yma’n mynd â chynulleidfaoedd ar daith o waelod y môr hyd at bellafion y bydysawd. £7.50

Grav

The Sherry Babys

In October 2007 Ray Gravell, a man who for many embodied what it is to be Welsh, passed away after succumbing to complications resulting from contracting diabetes.

He was 56 years old.

Known to millions for his legendary exploits on the rugby field, ‘Grav’ was and is so much more than that. An actor, a cultural icon, a father, a husband, a man with a life packed full of stories that deserve to be heard once more.

The Torch Theatre Company presents Gareth Bale as ‘Grav’ in a play written by Owen Thomas that celebrates the man and the legend. With the blessing of Mari, Ray’s widow, and contributions from his Welsh and British Lions team mates, this one man show will explore the life of a man who was as fascinating away from the rugby field as he was on it.

Hits include Still of the Night, Oh Carol, Teenager in Love and Why do Fools Fall in Love. With slick choreography and the recognisable falsetto, this really sets the scene for a great night. Acoustic versions of songs are a highlight in this part of the show, which demonstrates the diversity and harmonic sounds as once done by the great band themselves. The second half of the show is truly party time, where all the famous hits come out!

Sinfonia Cymru Sinfonia Cymru presents a lively and exhilarating programme of music. Stravinsky’s Danse Concertante, originally written for the concert stage but also performed as a one act ballet, is a great example of the composer’s invigorating style. Beethoven’s Violin Concerto in D Major, his only violin concerto, is a bright and lyrical piece which has become one of the most popular works for violin. Mozart’s Symphony No. 41 in C ‘Jupiter’ was the composer’s last symphony and it is often viewed as his greatest.

The concert features New Zealand born Benjamin Baker on violin.

Mr and Mrs Clark: SMASH IT UP In your hometown a symbol of equality, justice and freedom has been destroyed; a piece of art that stood for everything you know to be right.

Its destruction makes way for a privately guarded shopping centre. What do you do? If you are Mr and Mrs Clark you start a campaign.

In collaboration with the Newport art activists Bosch and with the guidance of the artist Andre Stitt, Mr and Mrs Clark developed a timeline of performances in public spaces that now make up a theatre show. They call it Smash It Up. Short-listed for the Amnesty Freedom of Expression Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Smash It Up is a destructive plea for some cultural conservationism. It is a challenging demand for equality, for hope and for greater creative freedom and beyond all for an understanding and nurturing of the creative imagination.

A Night of Queen – The Bohemians

NT Connections – Gargantuas

Described by Brian May himself as “utterly brilliant”, The Bohemians are a firm favourite with the Official Queen Fan Club.

Established in 1996, The Bohemians re-enact the glory days of Queen including the Craziness of the 70’s and the Magic of the 80’s, proving themselves to be the most dynamic and exciting Queen Tribute Band currently touring The UK, Europe and the world.

Playing all the hits including Killer Queen; Somebody To Love; Don’t Stop Me Now; You’re My Best Friend; We Are The Champions and the award winning Bohemian Rhapsody, balanced with the guitar led anthems; Tie Your Mother Down; Hammer To Fall; One Vision; I Want It All; We Will Rock You, this show will certainly see Newport rocking the night away.

Mae’r Bohemians, a sylfaenwyd ym 1996, yn ail-greu dyddiau gogoniant Queen gan gynnwys lloerigrwydd y 70au a Hud yr 80au, gan brofi mai nhw ydi’r Band Teyrnged Queen mwyaf egnïol a chyffrous sy’n teithio gwledydd Prydain, Ewrop a’r byd ar hyn o bryd. £16.50

THEATRE

GARGANTUA GAN/BY CARL GROSE Performed by The Riverfront Youth Theatre Academy as part of National Theatre Connections 2016.

When Mr and Mrs Mungus have a baby it isn’t the bouncy blue-eyed boy they were hoping for.

After a two-and-a-half year pregnancy, Mini Mungus gives birth to a monster – one with an accelerated growth rate and an insatiable appetite for anything that moves (including joggers). But when sinister military scientists become intent on cloning an army of giant babies from the giant, he breaks his chains and escapes.

The world can only watch in horror as he embarks on learning how to walk and rampant destruction ensues. Who will decide his tragic fate? Who will stop this freak of nature? And who, more importantly, will change his nappy?
