Creative Team

We spend a lot of time recruiting, training and evaluating our wonderful Area Partners, Producers and Teachers and the team at St Andrew's Church Hall in Cambridge are no exception. As at all Perform schools, they have all been hand-picked for being enthusiastic, approachable and, of course, fantastic with children. As a result, you can be confident that your child is in the best of hands. Here are the details of the Creative Team at this venue:

PRODUCER

James

I've been teaching with Perform since 2016: what started as a way of keeping body and soul together between theatre tours quickly developed into a passion there's no greater privilege than to facilitate and be entertained by children's endless creativity, or to see a previously reticent child suddenly find their voice. Outside of Perform, I'm a songwriter and musician. One day, I may even finish an album!

TEACHER

Victoria

I've been teaching at Perform since the start of 2025. I love working at Perform because it creates such a fun and supportive atmosphere for children to grow and develop - their progress every term always amazes me! I also love performing in productions for all the family to enjoy. My favourite role so far would have to be Cinnamon in LaplandUK, bringing the magic of Christmas to everyone!

AREA PARTNER

Sophie

I'm a Perform Teacher, Producer and Area Partner. I trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and alongside working for Perform have appeared in many television programmes for the BBC and Channel 4. Recently, I've been in several of the Perform shows in the West End! What I love about teaching for Perform is seeing how much children change during their time with us. It is a joy to see children having so much fun as they are learning!

We still cannot quite believe our son's response and reaction to Perform. The fact that on his second visit he asked to walk into the class independently is testament to James and the team and how comfortable and confident they have made him feel.

Cinzia Brusini Mcnicholas - Perform Cambridge parent

James is amazing, both Noah and Amaia absolutely love Perform. Noah was quite shy when he started but just last week he volunteered to go up on stage at a small magic show. I was so impressed and feel sure James helped build his confidence.

Emilie Eve - Perform Cambridge parent

Layla looks forward to her lessons every week. She loves wearing her red T-shirt too. It all goes back to the teachers, of course.

My daughter loves the classes! I've been blown away by the quality of the lessons and how engaging the teachers are. I love sneaking a look through the window to see them all jumping around and really enjoying themselves. James is brilliant!
