Knitting Fog is a live performance in Herbert’s Quarry, Bannau Brycheiniog, directed by Jess Lerner and created and performed with dance artists Gaby Agis and Amy Voris. Herbert’s Quarry is part of the Fforest Fawr UNESCO Global Geopark and is an SSSi - a site of special scientific interest. It has stunning panoramic views, former quarry pits, 300 million year old rock formations, and a sense of ‘deep time’. This area of land - Y Mynydd Du, the Black Mountain - is a high plateau and an ancient seabed and is found close to Brynaman and Llangadog. Bridging movement, nature and geology, Knitting Fog is a site-responsive performance inspired by human anatomy and by the landscape of Herbert’s Quarry, and informed by research with geologist Alan Bowring from Bannau Brycheiniog National Park.
The trio of performers will offer a historical, environmental journey and experience through movement. They will use movement as a sculptural material which acknowledges their identity and embodied imagination as mature women. Alan Bowring will be giving a brief talk about the site from a geological perspective and Nikki Tomlinson, who I am working with as producing mentor, will also be introducing. Following the performance you are warmly welcome to take part in a short improvisation activity led by the performers. No prior experience is needed and there is no obligation to take part. Tanya Syed will be filming and Nia Davies will be writing a creative response. Both will be presenting work at the Knitting Fog event Dance and Land at Brynamman Cinema on 31 May.

Jess x Dydd Sadwrn 10 Mai 2pm - 3.30pm Chwarel Herbert Mynydd Du/The Black Mountain ger Brynaman Mae Knitting Fog yn berfformiad byw yn Chwarel Herbert, Bannau Brycheiniog, wedi’i gyfarwyddo gan Jess Lerner ac wedi’i greu a’i berfformio gyda’r artistiaid dawns Gaby Agis ac Amy Voris. Mae Chwarel Herbert’s yn rhan o Geoparc Byd-eang UNESCO y Fforest Fawr ac yn SoDdGA – safle o ddiddordeb gwyddonol arbennig. Mae ganddo olygfeydd panoramig syfrdanol, hen byllau chwarel, ffurfiannau creigiau 300 miliwn o flynyddoedd oed, ac ymdeimlad o ‘amser dwfn’. Mae'r darn hwn o dir - Y Mynydd Du, y Mynydd Du - yn llwyfandir uchel a gwely'r môr hynafol ac fe'i ceir yn agos at Frynaman a Llangadog. Pontio symudiad, natur a daeareg, mae Gwau Niwl yn berfformiad sy’n ymateb i’r safle wedi’i ysbrydoli gan anatomeg ddynol a thirwedd Chwarel Herbert, ac wedi’i lywio gan ymchwil gyda’r daearegwr Alan Bowring o Barc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog. Bydd y triawd o berfformwyr yn cynnig taith hanesyddol, amgylcheddol a phrofiad trwy symud. Byddant yn defnyddio symudiad fel deunydd cerfluniol sy'n cydnabod eu hunaniaeth ac yn ymgorffori dychymyg fel merched aeddfed. Bydd Alan Bowring yn rhoi sgwrs fer am y safle o safbwynt daearegol a bydd Nikki Tomlinson, yr wyf yn gweithio gydag ef fel mentor cynhyrchu, hefyd yn cyflwyno. Yn dilyn y perfformiad mae croeso cynnes i chi gymryd rhan mewn gweithgaredd byrfyfyr byr dan arweiniad y perfformwyr. Nid oes angen profiad blaenorol ac nid oes unrhyw rwymedigaeth i gymryd rhan.
