Prosiect Epynt

Education Resources

What is Prosiect Epynt?

Prosiect Epynt was a co-devised creative response to the impact of the Epynt Clearance of 1940, exploring themes of Welsh language, displacement and its intergenerational impact through a collaborative production process with Welsh speaking communities, young people and professional dancers to develop and perform a dance piece and create a digital legacy in the form of a film, education resources and archives.

Participants from Ysgol Calon Cymru Builth Campus took part in a series of workshops exploring the stories of Epynt, working alongside dancers, a dramaturg, musicians and designers. Those interested joined the design team for the final dance performance - exploring set design, costume ideas and music composition and production - examples of which can be found in our teaching resource.
