PRODUCER

Kate

I trained at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. I joined Perform in 2025 and absolutely love inspiring children through drama, dance and singing. It's so rewarding to watch their confidence grow each term and see them shine during Show Week. Outside of Perform, I love going to the theatre to watch plays and musicals. My current favourite musical is Carousel!

TEACHER

Natasha

I'm a graduate of Laine Theatre Arts and have been teaching since 2016. I love working with the children at Perform as their creativity and imagination is inspiring and I love helping them develop their skills towards a performance. I am a Musical Theatre nerd, half Danish and I love animals!

AREA PARTNER

Gemma

I'm one of the Perform Area Partners. I'm so lucky to meet so many wonderful Perform children when I visit different classes and watching their confidence blossom throughout their time with us. My background is musical theatre and I have performed in many different shows in the West End and in theatres around the UK. During my time in Les Miserables, I got to sing at the European football final at Wembley and the 25th anniversary concert at the O2!
