Movement Workshops
The role of the Movement Practitioners was to lead a series of live and digital family dance workshops. The Movement Practitioners had 10 development days to learn new skills and to collaboratively create workshops which were delivered both live, at Grange Pavilion, and digitally.
Movement Practitioner Development Days:
· Welsh Language lessons.
· British Sign Language lessons.
· ‘Socially Sound’ session: A Deaf Awareness workshop that explores the experiences of Deaf people with intersecting identities.
· Universal Design of Instruction session: A session which explores how to ensure people of all abilities are able to engage in dance.
· RSPB Session: A workshop which shared how RSPB staff lead nature-based activities.
· And each of the Movement Practitioners shared their own movement practice with each other.
Meet the Movement Practitioners!

Rôl yr Ymarferwyr Symud oedd arwain cyfres o weithdai i deuluoedd, yn fyw ac yn ddigidol. Cafodd yr Ymarferwyr Symud 10 diwrnod datblygu i’w galluogi i ddysgu sgiliau newydd ac i weithio ar y cyd i greu gweithdai a gyflwynwyd yn fyw, ym Mhafiliwn y Grange, ac yn ddigidol.
Dyddiau Datblygu Ymarferwyr Symud:
· Gwersi Cymraeg.
· Gwersi Iaith Arwyddion Prydain (BSL).
· Sesiwn ‘Socially Sound’: Gweithdy Ymwybyddiaeth o Fyddardod sy’n archwilio profiadau Pobl Fyddar a chanddynt hunaniaethau croestoriadol.
· Sesiwn Cynllun Hyfforddiant Cyffredinol: Sesiwn sy’n archwilio sut i sicrhau bod pobl o bob gallu yn medru ymgysylltu â dawnsio.
· Sesiwn yr RSPB: Gweithdy yn rhannu sut mae staff yr RSPB yn arwain gweithgareddau’n seiliedig ar fyd natur.
