Black Lives Matter: Neges gan y Prif Weithredwr, Paul Kaynes
"Yn ystod yr holl drais ysgytwol ar hyn o bryd, rydym yn sefyll gyda’n cyfeillion du, gweithwyr llawrydd du, staff du a chymunedau lliw. Rydym yn cymryd yr amser yma i ddathlu cyfraniad pobl ddu i ddawns - fel artistiaid, dawnswyr a chefnogwyr. Mae hyn yn fwy nag ymgyrch cyfryngau cymdeithasol yn unig – mae angen ceisio creu newid a sicrhau cyfiawnder cymdeithasol: mae’n rhaid i fyd y celfyddydau a dawns newid, er mwyn inni allu dod yn fwy cynrychioliadol ac yn fwy creadigol. A byddwn yn ymdrechu gyda’n holl allu i geisio cyflawni hynny. Hoffem i bawb ymuno â ni yn y nod hwn i hybu newid a hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb"
