PRODUCER

Victoria

I've been teaching at Perform since the start of 2025. I love working at Perform because it creates such a fun and supportive atmosphere for children to grow and develop - their progress every term always amazes me! I also love performing in productions for all the family to enjoy. My favourite role so far would have to be Cinnamon in LaplandUK, bringing the magic of Christmas to everyone!

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!

James is amazing, both Noah and Amaia absolutely love Perform. Noah was quite shy when he started but just last week he volunteered to go up on stage at a small magic show. I was so impressed and feel sure James helped build his confidence.
