Professional dance in the community
Torch Theatre Summer School
Running since 2009, our popular annual summer school at Torch Theatre is open to all and is focused on offering affordable access to high quality creative experiences led by professional dance artists to the community in Pembrokeshire. Working with a different theme each year, and linked to our professional performance projects, this summer school is totally inclusive. We aim to create a supportive and nurturing environment for people of all backgrounds and abilities to come together, create and perform with us. Scroll down for this year's info...
Summer School 2023- Fabulous Animals
If you were an animal what would you be?
This year the Joon Dance / Torch Theatre summer school gets a whole lot wilder…
Animals are wild, they follow their instincts. They don’t care how they look or what we think of them. They attend to their own needs and the needs of their pack, flock, tribe.
Come and be part of creating an original dance performance based on our latest show, Fabulous Animals and perform alongside the professionals in the main house of Torch Theatre!
As per our usual Summer School format everyone is welcome. We will split into three separate groups based on age and ability so that everyone gets supported and challenged. We will have professional dance artists leading classes and workshops and everyone will be involved creatively in making the show. You'll have technique classes to hone your skills in contemporary dance, choreography sessions in which you create your own moves to perform in the show, and this year for the first time you’ll be creating your own costume as well!

Pe byddech chi'n anifail, beth fyddech chi?
Eleni mae ysgol haf Joon Dance / Theatr y Torch yn mynd yn llawer mwy gwyllt…
Mae anifeiliaid yn wyllt, yn dilyn eu greddf. Does dim ots ganddyn nhw am y ffordd maen nhw’n edrych na chwaith beth rydyn ni’n ei feddwl ohonyn nhw. Maen nhw’n edrych ar ôl eu hanghenion eu hunain ac anghenion eu haid, eu praidd, a’u llwyth.
Dewch i fod yn rhan o greu perfformiad dawns gwreiddiol yn seiliedig ar ein sioe ddiweddaraf, Fabulous Animals a chewch berfformio ochr yn ochr â’r gweithwyr proffesiynol yn awditoriwm mawr Theatr y Torch!
Yn unol â fformat arferol ein Hysgol Haf mae croeso i bawb. Byddwn yn rhannu'n dri grŵp gwahanol ar sail oedran a gallu, fel bod pawb yn cael eu cefnogi a'u herio. Bydd gennym artistiaid dawns proffesiynol yn arwain dosbarthiadau a gweithdai a bydd pawb yn cyfrannu’n greadigol at wneud y sioe. Cewch ddosbarthiadau techneg ar fireinio eich sgiliau mewn dawns gyfoes, sesiynau coreograffi lle byddwch yn creu eich symudiadau eich hunain i’w perfformio yn y sioe, ac eleni am y tro cyntaf byddwch yn creu eich gwisg eich hun hefyd!
