Creative Team

We spend a lot of time recruiting, training and evaluating our wonderful Area Partners, Producers and Teachers and the team at St Mark's Church in Kensal Rise 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

Georgia

I've been part of the Perform team since 2024 and love helping children grow through performing arts. I trained at the Oxford School of Drama and Drama Studio London, and have toured with the Young Shakespeare Company and with the Phoenix Theatre Collective during their pantomime seasons.

TEACHER

Genevieve

I've been teaching with Perform since 2025, after graduating from the London College of Music. I take great pride in improving the children's confidence and concentration through exciting games and focus-driven exercises, as well as inspiring their creativity throughout our classes. Outside of Perform, I thoroughly enjoy watching theatre shows; from West End musicals to local plays, my favourite has to be Oliver!

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!
