Y cwrs DDE ar gyfer egin Actorion

Ydych chi'n awyddus i ddilyn cwrs gradd? Does dim angen i chi edrych ymhellach! Mae Grŵp Llandrillo Menai ymhlith y sefydliadau sy'n cynnig y dewis mwyaf o gyrsiau gradd a chyrsiau lefel prifysgol yng Nghymru.

Ar hyn o bryd, mae oddeutu 1,200 o fyfyrwyr Addysg Uwch yn astudio ar 50 o gyrsiau gradd yn nhri choleg y Grŵp, sef Coleg Llandrillo, Coleg Menai a Choleg Meirion-Dwyfor.

Cynigir y rhan fwyaf o'n cyrsiau gradd yn y Ganolfan Brifysgol, a gostiodd sawl miliwn i'w chodi, yn Llandrillo-yn-Rhos ac mae rhai rhaglenni hefyd ar gael ar ein campysau ym Mangor, Llangefni a Dolgellau. Golyga darpariaeth leol y Grŵp y gallwch ddilyn cwrs gradd ar garreg eich drws, gan arbed miloedd ac heb orfod symud i fynd i brifysgol.

Caiff llawer o'r cyrsiau eu datblygu mewn ymgynghoriad â chyflogwyr er mwyn rhoi i'r dysgwyr y sgiliau a'r wybodaeth y mae cyflogwyr yn gofyn amdanynt ac er mwyn ei gwneud yn haws iddynt symud ymlaen i waith. Yn aml, cynhelir y cyrsiau llawn amser ddau ddiwrnod yr wythnos er mwyn helpu dysgwyr i gyfuno eu hastudiaethau â'u gwaith a'u hymrwymiadau teuluol.

Un sector y rhagwelir y bydd yn tyfu yn y dyfodol agos yw maes y celfyddydau perfformio, ac actio'n gyffredinol. Wrth gwrs, mae'r Covid-19 wedi effeithio ar y sector dros dro, ond o edrych i'r dyfodol, rhagwelir y bydd galw mawr am actorion pan fydd prosiectau ffilmio, theatrau ac amrywiol leoliadau'n cael ail-gydio mewn pethau.

Un nodyn cadarnhaol yw bod llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig wedi cyhoeddi'n ddiweddar ei bod yn rhoi £257m i gyllido theatrau, lleoliadau a sefydliadau ym maes y celfyddydau, gan roi hwb hollbwysig i ddiwydiant y celfyddydau perfformio,

Mae dros 1,300 o sefydliadau'n gobeithio elwa o hyn, yn cynnwys cwmni'r Birmingham Royal Ballet a'r Old Vic ym Mryste. Yr Old Vic ym Mryste, sy'n wynfyd i ddarpar actorion, yw'r theatr weithredol hynaf yn y byd Saesneg ei iaith, a chynigia brofiad gwaith i rai sydd â'u bryd ar fod yn actorion.

Meddai'r Ysgrifennydd Diwylliant, Oliver Dowden: "Mae'r cyllid hwn yn hwb hanfodol i theatrau, lleoliadau cerdd, amgueddfeydd a sefydliadau diwylliannol sy'n rhan greiddiol o'n gwlad. Bydd yn diogelu'r lleoedd arbennig yma, yn arbed swyddi ac yn helpu'r sector diwylliannol i gael ei gefn ato." Daw'r £257m cyntaf o'r Gronfa Adferiad Diwylliannol ehangach sy'n werth £1.57bn.*

Cynlluniwyd rhaglen y Dystysgrif Genedlaethol Uwch (HNC) mewn Celfyddydau Perfformio (Actio) yn benodol i fyfyrwyr sy'n dymuno cael gyrfa ym maes actio. Mae ar gael ar gampws Llandrillo-yn-Rhos a gellir ei dilyn yn llawn amser neu'n rhan-amser dros un neu ddwy flynedd (a gellir ei hastudio fesul modiwl yn ogystal).

Mae'r cwrs yn ddilyniant academaidd naturiol i fyfyrwyr sydd wedi astudio pynciau Lefel A neu wedi ennill Diploma Estynedig Lefel 3 BTEC. Byddant yn cymryd rhan mewn dosbarthiadau technegau ymarferol uwch ac yn derbyn hyfforddiant proffesiynol sy’n canolbwyntio ar berfformio, mewn awyrgylch ysgol ddrama. Caiff y cwrs ei gyflwyno gan arbenigwyr ym maes actio, symud a llais, sydd â phrofiad o weithio yn y diwydiant, sy’n hyddysg â’r pwnc ac yn gyfarwydd â’r gweithiau amrywiol a berfformir heddiw.

Mae'n rhoi sylfaen gadarn i fyfyrwyr o ran meithrin dulliau actio, technegau perfformio, disgyblaeth annibynnol ac ymarfer proffesiynol. Y bwriad yw datblygu actorion amryddawn a'u paratoi at fynd i brifysgol, at ddilyn prentisiaeth neu at fynd i weithio'n syth yn y diwydiant.

Mae'r cwrs yn cynnig nifer o fodiwlau craidd sy'n ymwneud â datblygiad proffesiynol ac sy'n arbenigo ar feysydd fel Testunau Clasurol, Technegau Clyweliad, Actio o flaen Camera, Llais a Symudiadau.

Yn sgil cysylltiadau cryf â’r byd celfyddydol a chreadigol lleol, yn cynnwys theatrau, sefydliadau celf, ymarferwyr gwadd a gweithwyr proffesiynol, bydd llu o gyfleoedd i wneud gwaith ymarferol a phroffesiynol.

Bydd y cwrs hwn yn rhoi i chi bopeth y mae arnoch ei angen i lwyddo yn y diwydiant. Bydd y grŵp yn gweithredu ac yn cael ei drin fel cwmni theatr proffesiynol a bydd yr aelodau'n dysgu ac yn meithrin sgiliau cydweithio'n greadigol, arwain, ymchwilio, gan lunio cysyniadau creadigol a'u rhoi ar waith.

Yn ddiweddar, lansiodd Grwp Llandrillo Menai a’r Coleg Brenhinol Cerdd a Drama bartneriaeth newydd a fydd yn cefnogi hyfforddiant yn y Celfyddydau Perfformio yng Ngogledd Cymru. Bydd y bartneriaeth yn cefnogi myfyrwyr a staff addysgu trwy ddarparu gweithdai a datblygiad proffesiynol.

Currently, around 1,200 higher education students are studying on 50 different degree courses across its three colleges: Coleg Llandrillo, Coleg Menai and Coleg Meirion-Dwyfor.

Most of the degree courses are offered at the multimillion-pound University Centre in Rhos-on-Sea, with some programmes also available at the Bangor, Llangefni and Dolgellau campuses. The Grŵp’s local provision means that you can study for a degree on your doorstep, saving thousands of pounds and negating the reason to move away to university.

Many of the courses are developed in consultation with employers, to equip learners with the skills and knowledge that employers require and to make the progression into employment easier. Often, the full-time courses are delivered over two days per week, helping learners fit their studies around work and family commitments.

One area which is widely predicted to become a growth sector in the near future is the performing arts, and acting in general. Of course, the sector has been temporarily affected by the Covid pandemic, but looking towards the future, it is anticipated that there will be a huge demand for actors once filming projects, theatres and a variety of venues are given the green light.

On a hugely positive note, a vital boost to the performing arts industry was announced by the UK government recently, with theatres, venues and organisations receiving a share of £257m government arts funding.

More than 1,300 organisations in the UK are set to benefit, including the Birmingham Royal Ballet and the Bristol Old Vic. The nirvana for budding actors, Bristol Old Vic is the oldest continuously working theatre in the English speaking world, regularly offering work experience to aspiring thespians.

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said: “This funding is a vital boost for the theatres, music venues, museums and cultural organisations that form the soul of our nation. “It will protect these special places, save jobs and help the culture sector's recovery." The initial £257m in funding will come out of the wider £1.57bn Cultural Recovery Fund.*

The college group’s Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Performing Arts (Acting) programme is specifically designed for students aspiring to follow a career in acting. It is available at the Rhos-on-Sea campus and can be studied on a full-time and part-time basis over 1 or 2 years respectively (it is also available on a modular basis).

The course is a natural academic progression after completing A-Levels or a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma and introduces students to advanced practical technique classes and professional performance-based training, within a drama school environment. The course will be delivered by acting, movement and voice specialists with professional industry experience and subject knowledge that reflects the changing and contemporary landscape of performance works.

It offers a strong foundation in developing acting methods, performance techniques, independent discipline and professional practice; which aims to develop students and prepare for a progression route to university, an apprenticeship or directly into industry.

The course offers a number of professional development core modules with acting specialisms such as Classical Text, Audition Technique, Acting to Camera, Voice and Movement.

There will be many opportunities to engage in practical and professional work through strong links with the local creative arts hub, which include links with local theatres, arts organisations, guest practitioners and working professionals.

The course will give you all the tools you need to succeed within the industry. The group will function and be treated as a professional theatre company and they will learn and develop skills in creative collaboration, leadership, research and the formation and implementation of creative concepts.

Grŵp Llandrillo Menai and the Royal College of Music and Drama recently launched a new partnership that will support training in the Performing Arts in North Wales. The partnership will support students and teaching staff by providing workshops and professional development.
