This August Joon Dance bring their unique performance-making summer school back to Torch Theatre and Chapter Arts, during which participants are invited to join us in staging a brand new dance theatre show.
Dive in for a fun filled, creative week in which dancers of all ages and abilities are welcomed, supported and encouraged to learn new movement skills, and choreograph their own part in the performance.
This year we are re-telling Cinderella for the modern age.
‘Cinder’s lost their dance shoes’ brings together the stories of each Cinderella character finding the shoes that fit them best and finding their groove. Cinderella rejects the glass slippers laid out for her and chooses her comfy work boots and life outdoors instead, whilst her step-siblings find a way to break free from their armour of masculinity through an unlikely (and surprisingly glittery) route. Meanwhile the wicked stepmother moves beyond her grief in order to nurture herself and her offspring, and the prince gives up searching for love in others and puts on the glass slippers to embrace his true self. Through this story we aim to tell a multitude of stories and gather people together to ask, what are your favourite dance shoes? What inspires you? And get moving.
From wellies, to work boots, from heels to ballet shoes… whatever shoes fit, we want to get them dancing. The shoes could be real shoes or could just represent the spark of creativity. Whether you’re dancing on your feet, or in a chair; in a studio, a field, on a beach or around your kitchen you are invited to join the ball.

Ym mis Awst eleni, bydd Joon Dance yn dod â'u hysgol haf unigryw ar greu perfformiad yn ôl i Theatr y Torch a Chapter Arts, lle caiff cyfranwyr eu gwahodd i ymuno â ni wrth lwyfannu sioe theatr dawns newydd sbon. Plymiwch i mewn i firi wythnos o greu, llawn hwyl lle mae dawnswyr o bob oed a gallu yn cael eu croesawu, eu cynnal a'u hannog i ddysgu sgiliau symud newydd, a dyfeisio eu rhan eu hunain yn y perfformiad. Eleni dyn ni’n yn ail-adrodd Sindarela ar gyfer yr oes fodern sydd ohoni.
Mae ‘Collodd Sindarela eu Sgidiau Dawnsio’ yn cyfuno straeon pob un o gymeriadau stori Sindarela yn darganfod y sgidiau sydd yn eu gweddu orau a sydd orau at eu dant. Mae Sindarela yn ymwrthod â’r sliperi gwydr a osodwyd ar ei chyfer ac yn hytrach yn dewis ei hesgidiau gwaith cyfforddus a bywyd yn yr awyr agored, tra bod plant ei mam wen yn canfod ffordd i dorri'n rhydd o'u harfwisg gwrywaidd drwy ffyrdd annisgwyl (disglair rhyfeddol). Yn y cyfamser, mae'r llysfam felltigedig yn symud y tu hwnt i'w galar er mwyn meithrin ei hun a'i phlant, ac mae'r tywysog yn rhoi'r gorau i chwilio am gariad pobl eraill wrth wisgo'r sliperi gwydr a chofleidio ei enaid go-iawn. Trwy'r stori hon ein nod yw adrodd myrdd o straeon ac i bobl ymgasglu a gofyn, beth yw eich hoff esgidiau dawns? Beth sy'n eich ysbrydoli? A dechrau symud.
O sgidiau glaw i sgidiau gwaith, o sodlau i sliperi bale… pa sgidiau bynnag sy’n ffitio, dan ni eisiau gwneud iddyn nhw ddawnsio. Gallai’r sgidiau fod yn rhai go iawn neu fe allen nhw sefyll dros fflach y creu. P’un a’i dawnsio ar eich traed, neu mewn cadair; mewn stiwdio, mewn cae, ar draeth neu o amgylch eich cegin, mae gwahoddiad i chi ymuno â’r ddawns.
