Creative Team

We spend a lot of time recruiting, training and evaluating our wonderful Area Partners, Producers and Teachers and the team at Chatsworth Baptist Church in West Norwood 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

Joanna

I have been producing classes at Perform since 2023. It's such a pleasure to watch children's confidence blossom and I am always so impressed with the progress of each and every child in our classes. Outside of Perform, you will often find me running to raise money for Diabetes UK - I am Type One and I love raising awareness!

TEACHER

Viola

I've been teaching at Perform since 2025, and I love seeing how drama builds confidence and creativity in children. Alongside teaching, I've worked as an actor in Babies the Musical and toured Germany in Grease. The most rewarding aspect of teaching is helping young people discover their potential, both on and off stage.

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!
