AMDANOM NI
Ym 1995 cymerodd Adam a finnau ran mewn darn o theatr aml-gyfrwng cyffrous gyda'r diweddar fardd Childe Roland (Peter Meilleur) o'r enw INDIGO. Roedd Peter a’i deulu wedi symud i Langollen yn 1979 a buan iawn y deuthum i, yn blentyn ifanc ar y pryd, yn ffrindiau agos â Sue, Peter a’u plant Emily, Miranda a Tom. Roeddwn i ym mlwyddyn olaf yn astudio ar gyfer fy ngradd drama ac roedd Peter yn gweithio ar fenter newydd gyffrous. Gofynnodd i mi greu y coreograffi i’r darn tra hefyd rhoi y cyfle i ni berfformio yn ei waith ysbrydoledig o’r enw ‘Indigo’ a berfformiwyd am y tro cyntaf yn Theatr Clwyd ac a ddangoswyd mewn nifer o leoliadau Cymreig gan gynnwys Theatr Ardudwy a Chanolfan Gelfyddydau Chapter, Caerdydd. Roedd barddoniaeth arbrofol a rhythmig Peter yn addas iawn ar gyfer dawns a theatr gorfforol a gwnaeth hyn ein hysbrydoli i barhau i archwilio a chreu’r math hwn o theatr cyfrwng-cymysg. Gyda bendith Peter fe gedwais yr enw – INDIGO.
Parhaodd Cwmni Theatr Indigo i greu prosiectau celfyddydau cymunedol trwy gydol y 90au. Mae ein darn Theatr mewn Addysg dwyieithog - Y Tri Mwnci / The Three Monkeys - yn archwilio heriau cyfathrebu mewn gwahanol ieithoedd ac roeddem yn gallu mynd ar daith o amgylch Ysgolion Cynradd Gogledd Cymru a lleoliadau cymunedol ddwywaith, diolch i gymorth Arian y Loteri Genedlaethol.
Bu Dancing In The Moonlight ar daith o amgylch sefydliadau gofal cymdeithasol a sawl neuadd cymunedol ar gyfer cynulleidfaoedd hŷn. Roedd y darn theatr gorfforol hwn yn seiliedig ar atgofion bywyd pobl go iawn oedd yn byw yn Sir Ddinbych wedi symud yma fel faciwîs o Lerpwl.
Ysgrifennodd a chyfarwyddodd Cwmni Theatr Indigo ddarnau ‘Datrys Llofruddiaeth’ a berfformiwyd ar gyfer amriwiaeth o gynulleidfaoedd a sefydliadau cymunedol gan gynnwys cwsmeriaid Corfforaethol, preswylwyr gwestai, gwasanaethau cyhoeddus a’r GIG.
Parhaodd Adam a minnau i ysgrifennu, cyfarwyddo a pherfformio nes i'n plant ddechrau cyrraedd oedran ysgol. Fe enillom ni TAR a dechrau dysgu’r celfyddydau perfformio a alluogodd ni i ofalu am ein teulu ifanc tra’n ehangu’r cwmni theatr i gynnwys gweithdai wythnosol i blant, pobl ifanc ac oedolion. Dros y blynyddoedd fe drawsnewidiodd y cwmni yn araf i’r academi celfyddydau perfformio fel ac y mae heddiw.
Mae ein drysau bob amser ar agor i gyfranogwyr newydd ac edrychwn ymlaen at gwrdd â chi os hoffech ymuno â ni ar ein taith greadigol!

Cyfarwyddo & Drama
Dechreuais fy hyfforddiant yng Ngholeg Elliot-Clarke yn 16 oed cyn symud ymlaen i astudio ym Mhrifysgol John Moores Lerpwl lle ennillais radd BA Anrhydedd mewn Dawns & Drama. Gadewais y brifysgol i weithio gyda chwmnïau theatr proffesiynol cyn cyd-sefydlu Cwmni Theatr Indigo yn 1997, lle bûm yn ddigon ffodus i berfformio, cyfarwyddo a choreograffu.
Fel actor, arweinydd gweithdai, hyfforddwr ac artist profiadol rwyf wedi arbenigo mewn Theatr Gorfforol a Dawns Gyfoes gyda pob oed. Ar ôl fy hyfforddiant TAR rwyf wedi cael y cyfle i gyfarwyddo cynhyrchiadau ar raddfa llawn, megis 'Hairspray', 'Annie' a 'Seussical The Musical'.
Y 'bwrlwm' o berfformio o flaen cynulleidfa fyw yw'r teimlad gorau yn y byd. Y 'bwrlwm' hwnnw yw'r hyn yr wyf yn mwynhau ei drosglwyddo i'm myfyrwyr, boed hynny drwy ddangosiad bach, anffurfiol, perfformiad stryd byrfyfyr neu gynhyrchiad ar raddfa lawn mewn theatr dan ei sang.
Pan fydd mam yn sôn am faint mae hunanhyder ei phlentyn wedi gwella neu mae oedolyn yn cyflwyno ei hun i mi fel y plentyn 7 oed swil oedd mewn cynhyrchiad flynyddoedd yn ôl, rwy'n cael cymaint o foddhad yn gwybod bod effaith y celfyddydau perfformio yn para oes.
Adam Tranmer
Drama & Llais
Wedi fy hyfforddiant ym Mhrifysgol John Moores yn Lerpwl, es ymlaen i weithio gydag amrywiaeth o gwmnïau perfformio, cyn sefydlu Cwmni Theatr Indigo gyda Claire. Rhoddodd hyn gyfle i mi ddatblygu amrywiaeth o brosiectau perfformio anhygoel a gweithio gyda llu o bobl dalentog. Rwyf hefyd wedi cael y lwc o gyfarwyddo llawer o gynhyrchiadau mawr, yn ddiweddaraf 'Babes In The Wood' a 'A Christmas Carol', sydd wedi rhoi llawenydd i mi ac eraill. Rwyf yn gobeithio dod a'r profiadiau yma i'r stiwdio i helpu meithrin a datblygu doniau ein myfyrwyr ifanc.
Rwyf yn ymwybodol iawn o bwysicrwydd y celfyddydau perfformio; maent yn darparu hunaniaeth ddiwylliannol, sgiliau cymdeithasol, hunanhyder, a gallant fod yn fan mynegiant ar gyfer ein meddyliau a'n teimladau. Mae'r celfyddydau perfformio hefyd yn caniatau lle i ni ddychmygu byd sy'n newid yn gyflym. Bydd y byd yn edrych yn wahannol iawn ymhen 40 mlynedd a bydd dychymyg a chreadigrwydd ein pobl ifanc yn ein helpu i wneud y daith flaengar honno.

Coreograffi & Dawns
Graddiais o Ganolgfan Dawns a Drama Glannau Mersi, yn 1994 gan ennill fy nghymwysterau addysgu dawns ISTD. Wedyn, es yn syth i mewn i ddysgu, gan baratoi disgyblion ar gyfer gwahanol arholiadau dawns ISTD, TGAU, Safon Uwch a BTEC a gwobrau celfyddydau perfformio mewn dawns.
Drwy gydol fy mhrofiad addysgu rwyf wedi coreograffu ar gyfer llawer o sioeau lleol, gan gynnwys grwpiau pop ac artistiaid unigol ar S4C.
Rwy'n credu y dylai pawb gael y cyfle i ddawnsio, drwy chwerthin a chael hwyl. Mae cynhwysiant, amrywiaeth a chydraddoldeb wrth wraidd fy addysgu, ynghyd ag angerdd am y ffurf gelfyddydol. Mae'n fwy na dysgu cyfres o gamau i gerddoriaeth. Mae'n ffordd o symud sy'n defnyddio'r corff fel offeryn mynegiant a chyfathrebu. Mae'n caniatáu twf personol a chymdeithasol drwy waith tîm, ffocws a sgiliau byrfyfyr. Mae dawns yn deffro canfyddiadau newydd mewn plant sy'n eu helpu i ddysgu a meddwl mewn ffyrdd newydd.
Mae'r cyffro yn eu llygaid yn gwneud i chi sylweddoli pa mor hudolus yw dawns.
Mae ffrindiau sy'n dawnsio gyda'i gilydd yn aros gyda'i gilydd.

Polisïau Academi Celyfyddydau Indigo Performing Arts Academy
Mae'r polisi hwn yn berthnasol i'r holl staff, gan gynnwys uwch reolwyr, staff cyflogedig, gwirfoddolwyr a gweithwyr sesiynol, staff asiantaeth, myfyrwyr neu unrhyw un sy'n gweithio ar ran Academi Celfyddydau Indigo Academy of Performing Arts (ACIAPA)
Diben y polisi hwn yw:
• amddiffyn plant a phobl ifanc sy'n derbyn gwasanaethau ACIAPA.
Mae hyn yn cynnwys plant oedolion sy'n defnyddio ein gwasanaethau;
• rhoi'r egwyddorion cyffredinol i staff a gwirfoddolwyr sy'n llywio ein dull o ddiogelu.
Mae ACIAPA yn credu na ddylai plentyn neu berson ifanc byth gael ei gam-drin mewn unrhyw ffordd. Mae gennym gyfrifoldeb i hyrwyddo lles pob plentyn a pherson ifanc a'u cadw'n ddiogel. Rydym wedi ymrwymo i ymarfer mewn ffordd sy'n eu diogelu.
Fframwaith cyfreithiol
Lluniwyd y polisi hwn ar sail cyfraith a chanllawiau sy'n ceisio diogelu plant, sef:
•Deddf Plant 1989
•Confensiwn Unedig Hawliau'r Plentyn 1991
•Deddf Diogelu Data 1998
•Deddf Troseddau Rhywiol 2003
•Deddf Plant 2004
•Deddf Diogelu Rhyddid 2012
•Canllawiau perthnasol y llywodraeth ar ddiogelu plant
Rydym yn cydnabod:
• bod lles y plentyn yn hollbwysig, fel y'i nodir yn Neddf Plant 1989
• bod gan bob plentyn, waeth beth fo'i oedran, anabledd, rhyw, treftadaeth hiliol, cred grefyddol, cyfeiriadedd rhywiol neu hunaniaeth, hawl i
gael amddiffyniad cyfartal rhag pob math o niwed neu gamdriniaeth
• bod rhai plant yn agored i niwed hefyd oherwydd effaith profiadau blaenorol, lefel eu dibyniaeth, eu hanghenion cyfathrebu neu faterion
eraill
• bod gweithio mewn partneriaeth â phlant, pobl ifanc, eu rhieni, gofalwyr ac asiantaethau eraill yn hanfodol i hyrwyddo lles pobl ifanc.
Byddwn yn ceisio cadw plant a phobl ifanc yn ddiogel drwy:
• eu gwerthfawrogi, gwrando arnynt a'u parchu
• mabwysiadu arferion amddiffyn plant drwy weithdrefnau a chod ymddygiad ar gyfer staff a gwirfoddolwyr
• datblygu a gweithredu polisi e-ddiogelwch a gweithdrefnau cysylltiedig effeithiol
• darparu rheolaeth effeithiol ar gyfer staff a gwirfoddolwyr drwy oruchwyliaeth, cymorth a hyfforddiant
• recriwtio staff a gwirfoddolwyr yn ddiogel, gan sicrhau bod yr holl wiriadau angenrheidiol yn cael eu gwneud
• rhannu gwybodaeth am amddiffyn plant ac arfer da gyda phlant, rhieni, staff a gwirfoddolwyr
• rhannu pryderon ag asiantaethau y mae angen iddynt wybod, a chynnwys rhieni a phlant yn briodol.

ABOUT US
In 1995 Adam and I took part in an exciting multi-media collaboration with the late poet Childe Roland (Peter Meilleur) entitled INDIGO. Peter and his family had moved to Llangollen in 1979 and I, then a young child, soon became close friends with Sue, Peter and their children Emily, Miranda and Tom. I was in the final year of my drama degree whilst Peter was working on an exciting new venture. He asked me to choreograph the piece while also giving an opportunity for Adam and I to perform in his inspiring work ‘Indigo’ which premiered in Theatr Clwyd and showed at many Welsh venues including Theatr Ardudwy and Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff.
Peter’s experimental and rhythmic poetry lent itself well to dance and physical theatre which inspired us to continue to explore and create this type of mixed-genre theatre - and with Peter’s blessing we kept the name - INDIGO.
Indigo Theatre Company continued to create community arts projects throughout the 90’s. Our bi-lingual Theatre in Education piece - Y Tri Mwnci / The Three Monkeys - explores the challenges of communicating in different languages and was able to tour North Wales Primary Schools and community settings twice, thanks to National Lottery Funding.
Dancing In The Moonlight toured social care establishments and community halls for an older audience. This dance theatre piece was based on the real life recollections of people who resided in Denbighshire having moved here as evacuees from Liverpool.
Indigo Theatre Company wrote and directed Murder Mystery pieces that were performed for a range of audiences and establishments including Corporate clients, hotel residents, public services and the NHS.
Adam and I continued to write, direct and perform until our children began to reach school age. We attained PGCE’s and began teaching performing arts which enabled us to look after our growing family whilst expanding the theatre company to include weekly workshops for children, young people and adults. Over the years that followed the theatre company slowly morphed into the performing arts academy it is today.
Our doors are always open to new participants and we look forward to meeting you should you care to join us on our creative journey!

THE TEAM
Claire Tranmer
Principal
Direction & Drama
I started my training at Elliot-Clarke College at the age of 16 before moving on to study at Liverpool John Moores University where I gained a BA Honours degree in Dance & Drama. I left university to work with professional theatre companies before co-founding the Indigo Theatre Company in 1997, where I was fortunate enough to perform, direct and choreograph.
As an experienced actor, workshop leader, trainer and artist I have specialised in Physical Theatre and Contemporary Dance at all ages. Having also trained as a teacher I have had the opportunity to direct full-scale productions, such as 'Hairspray', 'Annie' and 'Seussical The Musical'.
The 'buzz' of performing in front of a live audience is the best feeling in the world. That 'buzz' is what I enjoy passing on to my students, whether through a small, informal screening, an improvised street performance or a full-scale production in a packed theatre.
When a mum talks about how much their child's self-confidence has improved or an adult introduces themselves to me as the shy 7-year-old in a production from years ago, I get so satisfied knowing that the impact of the performing arts lasts a lifetime.
Adam Tranmer
Drama & Voice
After my training at John Moores University in Liverpool, I went on to work with a variety of performance companies, before setting up the Indigo Theatre Company with Claire. This gave me the opportunity to develop a range of amazing performance projects and work with a host of talented people. I have also had the luck of directing many major productions, most recently 'Babes In The Wood' and 'A Christmas Carol', which has given me and others joy. I hope to bring these experiences to the studio to help nurture and develop the talents of our young students.
I am well aware of the importance of the performing arts; they provide cultural identity, social skills, self-confidence, and can be a place of expression for our thoughts and feelings. The performing arts also allow us space to imagine a rapidly changing world. The world will look very detached in 40 years' time and the imagination and creativity of our young people will help us make that progressive journey.
Anita Lloyd
Choreography & Dance
I graduated from Merseyside Dance and Drama Centre in 1994 and gained my ISTD dance teaching qualifications. I then went straight into teaching, preparing pupils for different ISTD, GCSE, A-level and BTEC dance exams and performing arts in dance awards.
Throughout my teaching experience I have choreographed for many local shows, including pop groups and individual artists on S4C.
I think everyone should have the opportunity to dance, by laughing and having fun. Inclusion, diversity and equality are at the heart of my teaching, as is a passion for the art form. It's more than learning a series of steps to music. It is a way of moving that uses the body as a tool of expression and communication. It allows for personal and social growth through teamwork, focus and improvisational skills. Dance is waking up new findings in children that help them learn and think in new ways.
The excitement in their eyes makes you realise how magical dance is.
Friends who dance together stay together.

This policy applies to all staff, including senior managers, paid staff, volunteers and sessional workers, agency staff, students or anyone working on behalf of Academi Celfyddydau Indigo Academy of Performing Arts (ACIAPA)
The purpose of this policy is:
• to protect children and young people who receive ACIAPA’s services.
This includes the children of adults who use our services;
• to provide staff and volunteers with the overarching principles that guide our approach to safeguarding.
ACIAPA believes that a child or young person should never experience abuse of any kind. We have a responsibility to promote the welfare of all children and young people and to keep them safe. We are committed to practice in a way that protects them.
Legal framework
This policy has been drawn up on the basis of law and guidance that seeks to protect
children, namely:
•Children Act 1989
•United Convention of the Rights of the Child 1991
•Data Protection Act 1998
•Sexual Offences Act 2003
•Children Act 2004
Protection of Freedoms Act 2012
•Relevant government guidance on safeguarding children
We recognise that:
• the welfare of the child is paramount, as enshrined in the Children Act 1989
• all children, regardless of age, disability, gender, racial heritage, religious belief, sexual orientation or identity, have a right
to equal protection from all types of harm or abuse
• some children are additionally vulnerable because of the impact of previous experiences, their level of dependency,
communication needs or other issues
• working in partnership with children, young people, their parents, carers and other agencies is essential in promoting
young people’s welfare.
We will seek to keep children and young people safe by:
• valuing them, listening to and respecting them
• adopting child protection practices through procedures and a code of conduct for staff and volunteers
• developing and implementing an effective e-safety policy and related procedures
• providing effective management for staff and volunteers through supervision, support and training
• recruiting staff and volunteers safely, ensuring all necessary checks are made
• sharing information about child protection and good practice with children, parents, staff and volunteers
• sharing concerns with agencies who need to know, and involving parents and children appropriately.
We are committed to reviewing our policy and good practice annually.
