Llongyfarchiadau to graduate TK Hay - Winner of the ArtsFoundation Futures Awards 2025 £20,000 Fellowship for Theatre!

Jury member and CEO of Shakespeare’s Globe, Stella Kanu, who presented the award, said:

‘The aesthetic of TK Hay’s work stands out among his peers. It is visually captivating and his carefully crafted designs have an ability to communicate to the viewer the journey of the performance before the actors even step on stage. TK is a deserving recipient of the Arts Foundation Fellowship, and we have no doubt that this will propel him to the next phase of his career and enable him to make an important contribution to the sector as a whole.’

Llongyfarchiadau i un o raddedigion - Enillydd Cymrodoriaeth £20,000 ar gyfer Theatr yn Nyfarniadau ArtsFoundation Futures 2025!

Dywedodd Stella Kanu, aelod o’r rheithgor a Phrif Swyddog Gweithredol Shakespeare’s Globe, a gyflwynodd y wobr:

‘Mae estheteg gwaith TK Hay yn sefyll allan ymhlith ei gyfoedion. Mae’n gyfareddol yn weledol ac mae gan ei gynlluniau sydd wedi’u saernïo’n ofalus y gallu i gyfathrebu taith y perfformiad i’r gwyliwr cyn i’r actorion hyd yn oed gamu ar y llwyfan. Mae TK yn dderbynnydd haeddiannol Cymrodoriaeth Arts Foundation, ac nid oes gennym unrhyw amheuaeth y bydd hyn yn ei wthio i gam nesaf ei yrfa ac yn ei alluogi i wneud cyfraniad pwysig i’r sector cyfan.”
