Creative Team

We spend a lot of time recruiting, training and evaluating our wonderful Area Partners, Producers and Teachers and the team at St Barnabas Parish Hall in Dulwich 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

Rebecca

I have been working with Perform since March 2026 after graduating from Mountview with an MA in Musical Theatre. I love teaching as I like to encourage children to have confidence in themselves. Outside of Perform I love to be with my dog, play my ukulele and watch theatre shows - my favourite ones are Shrek and Operation Mincemeat.

TEACHER

Matilda

I am at Teacher at Perform and the classes are the highlight of my week! Working at Perform has further developed my love of teaching young people and watching their confidence grow each week. Outside of Perform, I love going to see shows on in London, reading, and dancing in my free time!

AREA PARTNER

Oliver

Hi, I'm Oli! I've been with Perform since 2012 and work as an Area Partner, as well as running my own classes. Outside of Perform, I produce theatre shows and work in artist and live event management. Children have an incredible ability to find joy in the world around them, and that's one of the things I love most about my job. As an Area Partner, it's a privilege to support and develop our Teachers, helping even more children celebrate their individuality and discover what they're capable of.

Sofia has only just started her journey with Perform but so far it’s been wonderful! Fiona is an excellent teacher - incredibly inclusive, welcoming and fun. It’s already building Sofia’s confidence and is a class she really looks forward to.

Michelina is wonderful. My kids have loved this class. She's accepted them as they come, finding their way in the class. And the 4C structure is lovely. Just the vibe we were looking for. Thank you.
