Mae Phil Brown yn byw ac yn gweithio yn Ynys Mon, lle cafodd ei fagu. Mae ei gefndir yn y maes dylunio graffig. Yn 2007 ailhyfforddodd Phil fel tylinwr corff chwaraeon.

Yn ystod haf 2010, cynhyrchodd Phil gyfres o baentiadau haniaethol a gafodd eu hysbrydoli gan daith i San Diego rai blynyddoedd yn ol. Roedd Phil wedi teithio yn helaeth yn y gorffennol ac roedd syniadau ac atgofion y daith yn addas i’w harchwilio a’u mynegi mewn ffordd fwy rhydd a digymell o weithio. Mae synergedd rhwng therapi symudiad, sy’n gofyn am agwedd greadigol a byrfyfyr, a’r broses o roi marciau paent ar y cynfas.

Phil Brown lives and works in Anglesey, where he was brought up. He has worked as a professional illustrator and graphic designer. In 2007 Phil retrained as a remedial and sports masseur.

Over the summer of 2010, Phil produced a series of abstract paintings inspired by a trip to San Diego years before. These paintings are a part of an on-going body of abstract work that Phil finds refreshing and exciting to explore.There is a synergy between his massage and movement therapy, which requires a creative and improvisational approach, and the application of painted marks to the surfaces of his canvasses.

Mae’r Pasg yn gyfnod dathlu mewn nifer o ddiwylliannau hemisffer y gogledd, ac yn amser twf newydd ac aileni. Dewch i ymuno â Rowenna Williams o Wild Art Wales yn Venue Cymru i ddathlu’r wyl hon trwy greu basgedi’r Pasg, coronblethau a choronau. Byddwch yn defnyddio deunyddiau naturiol a deunyddiau wedi’u hailgylchu yn ogystal â deunyddiau crefft i greu eich campweithiau Pasg unigryw chi eich hun.

Easter is a time of celebration in many cultures in the northern hemisphere, a time of renewed growth and rebirth. Come join Rowenna Williams of Wild Art Wales at Venue Cymru to celebrate this festival by creating Easter baskets, head garlands and crowns. You will be using natural and recycled materials as well as craft materials to make your very own unique Easter creations.

Derek Jacobi takes on one of Shakespeare’s greatest roles in a major new Donmar Warehouse production from director Michael Grandage and the creative team behind six-time Tony

Award-winning Red.

“Who is it that can tell me who I am?”An ageing monarch. A kingdom divided. A child’s love rejected. As Lear’s world descends into

chaos, all that he once believed is brought into question.

One of the greatest works in western literature, King Lear explores the very nature of human existence: love and duty, power and loss, good and evil.

From the land of legends and warrior Shaolin monks comes the incredible new Chinese State Circus production – the

live acrobatic spectacular - Mulan.

A breathtaking fusion of precision acrobatics, Shaolin martial arts, dazzling circus skills, colourful characters from Peking Opera, physical theatre and drama choreographed to

an original music score, MULAN is based on the legend of one of China’s greatest heroines. Although the tales of how a peasant girl led an army to save her nation from invasion have

spread over the world in poems, songs, books, and films, this is their first incarnation in the all-action world of international circus.

Entertainment for all the family- from the world’s leading Chinese acrobats.

Ian Fricker and Richard Temple Present

By William Douglas Home

Starring Jane Asher, Clive Francis and Belinda Lang

Parental plans go awry, reputations are shredded and the generation gap seems insurmountable in William Douglas Home’s delightful romantic comedy.

Society couple, Jimmy and Sheila Broadbent, are launching their daughter Jane into society and have their eye on the perfect husband. Jane, however, has other ideas. The round of balls and parties bores her stiff and the last thing she wants is some stuffy young toff with perfect manners. In fact, the chap she

really wants appears to be a perfect cad…

Horrified parents, a conniving cousin and hot society gossip make this a debutante season to remember.

Bursting with witty one liners and sparkling dialogue in the tradition of Noel Coward, this affectionate caricature of 1950s British society brings the glamour and charm of the debutante scene gloriously to life.

‘You shouldn’t put your daughter in the

marriage stakes, however big the

prizes are’

Die Fledermaus This major new production combines Johann Strauss II’s beguiling music and high-spirited comedy with opulent sets and costumes to create an irresistible treat of an evening. A stunning cast includes Nuccia Focile and Paul Charles Clarke. We are delighted to announce that the celebrated actor Desmond Barrit will play the comic speaking role of the gaoler Frosch, and Alan Opie will perform the role of Frank. Join us for a wonderfully feel-good night at the theatre. wno.org.uk/fledermaus

Il trovatore This simple and evocative production brings Verdi’s gripping tragedy to life. Verdi never lets the tension of this powerful story slip. With every number Verdi exerts his grip on the audience as he builds to an unforgettable, shattering finale. An exceptional cast includes Gwyn Hughes Jones as Manrico and David Kempster as Count di Luna. wno.org.uk/trovatore

Die Fledermaus is sung in English and Il trovatore is sung in Italian. Welsh National Opera performances have English and Welsh surtitles shown on a screen above the stage so it is easy to follow all the action.

Now in its fifth fantastic tour, this smash hit Show has had people on their feet all over the UK. Set in a pole dancing class (the latest get-fit craze) ‘The Naked Truth’ is a brilliantly funny play about sisterhood.

Starring MAUREEN NOLAN; CLAIRE KING (Emmerdale); MICHELLE HEATON (Liberty X); JULIE BUCKFIELD (Hollyoaks); LEANNE JONES (Olivier award-winning star of Hairspray).

It’s a women thing, as five very different women struggle hilariously to conquer pole dancing for an event to raise awareness and money for a breast cancer charity.As their stories unfold and unravel, they share laughter and tears in this hilarious, sad and ultimately moving Play.

The Naked Truth is a show for women, about women, that men absolutely must see (if they dare!)

The Gruffalo said that no Gruffalo should Ever set foot in the deep dark wood...

One wild and windy night the Gruffalo’s child ignores her father’s warning and tiptoes out into the snow. After all, the Big Bad Mouse doesn’t really exist... does he?

Tall Stories Theatre Company returns, bringing Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s award-winning sequel to life in this magical, musical adaptation.

All adults must be accompanied by a responsible child.

When Theatr Colwyn reopens, the new box office number will be: 01492 577888. The website address is: www.theatrcolwyn.co.uk

The theatre and cinema, which is 125 years old, has been awarded £500,000 from the North Wales Regeneration Area Programme (part of the Bay Life + Programme) and £238,000 from Conwy County Borough Council, owner and operator, to pay for the project.

Money was also raised in a separate campaign launched by Monty Python Terry Jones, patron of Theatr Colwyn. Terry, who was born in Colwyn Bay, made a special appearance in front of a sell-out audience at the theatre in April to launch the campaign.

The new facilities will include a larger foyer and bar area, community room, offices, ramp access to the building, lift to all floors.

Plans also include the enhancement of the front of the Victorian venue and development of the basement area to create toilet facilities, staff room and link door connecting backstage to front of house.

Theatr Colwyn is the oldest cinema in the UK still operating and the oldest theatre in Wales still operating.

Phil Batty, manager, said: “This redevelopment will regenerate Theatr Colwyn and help to ensure it is around for the next 125 years. As the building work progresses, we are busily planning the reopening for the Spring. We are especially happy that we will have a new community room, which will give organisations from the area a space to hold meetings / conferences in the centre of Colwyn Bay.“There will also be an increased bar area space, where we are looking into the possibility of putting on small events and gigs.”

The management of Theatr Colwyn is very grateful to the Bay of Colwyn Town Council for their continued financial support of the venue and the Friends of Theatr Colwyn for their work in promoting and supporting it.

Theatr Colwyn in Colwyn Bay is undergoing an exciting major front of house redevelopment at the moment, which will greatly improve the facilities of this much loved venue.

kinG LeaR woRkSHoP25 & 26 february 2011 It is often claimed that Shakespeare’s finest creation King Lear was based on the legendary Welsh King Llyr Lediaith, and what better way to delve into this timeless tragedy than in the beautiful surroundings of Bodysgallen Hall and Spa.

Under the guidance of renowned television dramatist and experienced teacher of creative writing, Barry Simner, theatre and literature lovers will take Shakespeare’s greatest play as inspiration and guide to creating compelling drama out of simple ideas. His workshops will be entertaining and practical while offering a rare glimpse into the creative process itself.

Rediscover the Bard’s greatest tragedy at Bodysgallen, steeped in history and now part of the National Trust, with spectacular views of Conwy Castle and the mountains of Snowdonia - you will surely be inspired…

Workshop, overnight stay and meals at Bodysgallen Hall and best stall seats to see KING LEAR, a DONMAR WAREHOUSE production, starring Derek Jacobi at Venue Cymru £199, Non Residential: £99.

To book or for more information email [email protected].

Venue Cymru welcomes all patrons and offers a range of facilities to ensure everyone has an enjoyable and comfortable visit. Audio described, captioned and BSL interpreting are available on selected performances during weekly or long running shows. Here is a brief explanation of how they work at the theatre.

Captioning - converts the spoken word into visible text for deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people.

Sign Language Interpretation - enables people with sign language, whether as a first or second language, to enjoy live performance in the language most appropriate to them.

Sound enhancement - an Infra Red Loop System amplifies the sound via a headset or neck loop in conjunction with a hearing aid; this is particularly helpful for people with mild hearing loss.

Audio Description - a live verbal commentary, delivered between the dialogue, providing information on the visual elements of a production as it unfolds.

* We do advise that you reserve a headset when booking tickets.

We hope these assisted performances remove some of the barriers to the arts, which most people take for grant.
