Act It Out
Day 8: Act It Out
Welsh translation: Chwarae rhan
Hi I’m Simon, Artistic Director of The Drama Geezers, an arts education company championing more drama in the classroom, at home and in the workplace.
We immerse children and adults in playful story worlds, turning rooms into safe spaces where everyone can play, explore and create together.
We are passionate about challenging the stereotypes about male involvement in play and creativity and believe that there is immense strength in men embracing their playful side.
As adults we can lose the sense of play we had growing up. It’s time to find it again. Every day we do the same tasks over and over again, can we rethink how we do them and inject some play into them?
I would like people to spend ten minutes losing themselves in play. Drama and storytelling are good for our wellbeing and can lead to connection and laughter with others.
Whether it’s pretending to be an angry chef cooking dinner or moving around the house like a secret agent, have fun and let go.

Helo fi yw Simon, Cyfarwyddwyr Artistig The Drama Geezers, cwmni addysg celf sy’n annog mwy o ddrama yn yr ystafell ddosbarth, yn y cartref ac yn y gweithle. Rydyn ni’n gosod plant ac oedolion mewn bydoedd stori chwareus, gan droi ystafelloedd yn fannau diogel lle gall pawb chwarae, archwilio a chreu gyda’i gilydd. Rydyn ni’n angerddol dros herio ystrydebau am y ffordd mae dynion yn cymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau chwarae a chreadigrwydd, ac yn credu bod y byd yn lle gwell pan fydd dynion yn cofleidio eu hochr chwareus.

Do
Act out something you do everyday but in character.
Brush your teeth as a secret agent, pretend to be a strange monster with your family or make dinner as a witch brewing a potion.
Cyflawnwch weithred gyffredin bob dydd, ond mewn cymeriad. Beth am lanhau eich dannedd fel asiant cudd, bod fel anghenfil rhyfedd o flaen y teulu, neu goginio swper fel gwrach yn troelli crochan?
Think
Did pretending to be a character bring out your playful side?
Did you create magical moments with another person?
Could you write a story based on this new character?
A wnaeth esgus bod yn gymeriad amlygu elfen chwareus eich cymeriad?
A gawsoch chi amser hudolus gyda pherson arall?
Allech chi ysgrifennu stori yn seiliedig ar y cymeriad newydd hwn?
