NEW TRAILER! Untamed by Alesandra Seutin
See Untamed as part of Blue | Glas Autumn 2026
https://ndcwales.co.uk/blue-glas

‘Untamed’ is a visceral new work by Alesandra Seutin (2026 Olivier Award Nominee and Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist) rooted in the human urge to run.
Bodies charged with emotion coil like springs ready to release.
Together we move forward. Are we running away or towards something new?
Set to a driving soundtrack that includes traditional Welsh instruments and ancestral voices, the athletic, commanding dance will invigorate the senses, cleanse the soul and leave you breathless.
_

Mae ‘Untamed’ yn waith newydd o’r galon gan Alesandra Seutin (Enwebai Gwobr Olivier 2026 ac Artist Cyswllt Sadler’s Wells) wedi’i wreiddio yn yr ysfa ddynol i redeg.
Cyrff wedi’u pweru gan emosiwn yn barod am ryddhad.
Gyda'n gilydd, symudwn ymlaen. Ydym ni’n rhedeg i ffwrdd neu tuag at rywbeth newydd?
Wedi’i gosod i drac sain ysgogol sy’n cynnwys offerynnau Cymreig traddodiadol a lleisiau cyndadol, bydd y ddawns athletaidd, awdurdodol yn bywiogi’r synhwyrau, yn puro’r enaid a’ch gadael yn syfrdan.

Sometimes stories are worth sharing.
Here choreographer Theo Clinkard talks about moving through grief with dance.

“It’s about vulnerability and connection, and finding joy…and I hadn’t felt that in a year and a half”

When we spoke to Theo Clinkard about re-staging his work Ordinary Courage 14 years after it was first made.
In both periods of Theo’s life this work has supported him through the loss of a parent, and we are honoured he trusts us to share that story with the world – and hope audiences find the same small pockets of joy in experiencing the work.

-

Weithiau mae straeon werth eu rhannu.
Yma mae’r coreograffydd Theo Clinkard yn trafod symud drwy alar gyda dawns.

“Mae’n ymwneud â bregusrwydd a chysylltiad, a chanfod llawenydd …a doeddwn i heb deimlo hynny mewn blwyddyn a hanner”

Siaradon ni â Theo Clinkard am ail-lwyfannu ei waith Ordinary Courage 14 o flynyddoedd ar ôl iddo gael ei greu.
Yn y ddau gyfnod ym mywyd Theo mae ei waith wedi ei gefnogi wrth golli rhiant, ac mae’n fraint i ni ei fod yn ymddiried ynom i rannu’r stori hon â’r byd - a gobeithio y bydd cynulleidfaoedd yn canfod yr un teimlad o lawenydd wrth brofi’r gwaith.
