Overall aims and purpose
Mae Ymarfer Theatr Cyfoes yn fodiwl sy'n archwilio crefft theatr ar lefel uwch. Trwy berfformio, cyfarwyddo a dramayddiaeth, anogir myfyrwyr i sefydlu cwmniau a chynhyrchu eu gwaith eu hunain i archwilio polisi artistig ar lwyfannau’r 21ain ganrif sy'n croesawu'r arbrofol. Caiff dealltwriaeth o brosesau ymchwil a datblygu a gwerthoedd cynhyrchu eu rhannu a'u hymarfer drwy drafodaeth a gwaith ymarferol. Bydd y modiwl yn edrych ar strategaethau creadigol, dulliau a materion damcaniaethol sy’n deillio o greu gwaith cyfoes.
Mae’r modiwl yn ystyried y berthynas rhwng perfformwyr â’r gynulleidfa ar lwyfannau’r 21ain ganrif, senograffiaeth, a thechnoleg mewn perfformiad yn ogystal â phenderfyniadau theatrig o ran llwyfannu a hyfforddiant perfformio.
