Plethu means to braid, or to weave. It’s also a term from Welsh folk dance, used to describe the weaving patterns that dancers make in space.
Plethu weaves together Twmpathau (Welsh social dances), artist residencies, youth dance workshops, dance for vulnerable adults, artist professional development, family workshops, film screenings, new commissions and a micro-festival, AFON(Friday 13th – Sunday 15th September 2019).
Based in a small village in rural west Wales, we are interested in how artists might begin to reveal the complexity of ‘community’. What is the nature of the communities that emerge when we dance together? How does dance help us think about the places we live in, and how they relate to the wider world?
Maynard Abercych is a place for everybody to dance, to think, and make different ways of being together.
