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

Joy

My name is Joy and I have been a Teacher at Perform since 2021. I love watching so many of my students grow in confidence and I am always so moved to see their progress through the terms! Playing games and singing our very catchy songs with them is my favorite part of the job, although I have really enjoyed playing a sassy French ballerina in Midnight in the Toyshop too!

TEACHER

Maisie

I started teaching with Perform in 2026. It is a joy to see and work with children at Perform on developing strong communication skills, self belief and confidence in such a fun and supportive environment. Outside of Perform I'm a singer, so it is wonderful to be able to share my stage experience with the children on a weekly basis. My vocal idol is Adele!

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 aroud 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!

It's been a delight. Watching my just turned 4 year old navigate his first community class without me has been emotional. I am so proud of him and impressed how quickly he trusted your teachers. Thank you!
