Weekend of events to celebrate our friend and colleague – Emyr Glyn Williams (Emyr Ankst)
Pontio presents a weekend of special events this October to celebrate and remember our friend and colleague, Emyr Glyn Williams (Emyr Ankst).
Psylence was one of the most exciting events Emyr organised here at Pontio with bands such as Datblygu, Adwaith and R. Seiliog setting live scores to various films such as Andy Warhol’s Kiss, Maya Deren’s short films, Dovzhenko’s Earth and much more.
Emyr’s saying was ‘build it, and they will come’ – so, we are building on the most innovative, exciting and bold events Emyr curated, with a full weekend of events; Psylence 2024 is the biggest yet.
All proceeds will go to charities Cancer Research UK as chosen by Emyr’s family.

National Dance Company Wales – Dance For Parkinson’s
Tuesdays, 1.30pm – 3pm
NDCWales is excited to launch new Dance for Parkinson’s classes in Bangor!
Dance for Parkinson’s classes are fun and informal.
Dance has been proven to develop confidence and strength, whilst temporarily relieving some participants of symptoms in everyday life. Classes are creative and promote feelings of freedom from the physical and social constraints of having Parkinson’s.
We are an Affiliated hub of English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s programme.
Classes are 90 minutes long, and all you’ll need is a chair.
English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s programme has been running since 2008. We are proud to be part of the Dance for PD membership, to support Dance for Parkinson’s Partnership and People Dancing and to have an affiliation with Parkinson’s UK.
