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

Lewis

After graduating from Arts Educational Schools and working as an actor, I started producing classes at Perform. Watching the children developing in confidence, life skills and enjoying the classes so much, makes it the most rewarding job. In my free time, you will often find me at the theatre taking in a new play or musical.

PRODUCER

Lucy

I've been teaching with Perform since 2023. My first Perform themes were Circus and Outlaws! I love using my experience as an actor to teach children, and help them bring all sorts of different characters to life. Outside of Perform, I love to watch Disney films - my current favourite is Toy Story 5!

TEACHER

Maisie

I've been teaching with perform since May 2026 and absolutely love helping children grow in confidence, spark their creativity and discover the joy of performing. As a trained performer I bring my experience from Emil Dale Academy and Italia Conti to every class. Outside of Perform, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, watching movies and musicals and travelling!

TEACHER

Samantha

I have been working with Perform since 2017, after I graduated East15 Acting School in 2016! I love being able to utilise my performer knowledge in teaching and absolutely adore watching the children in my classes grow and develop throughout their time at Perform!

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!

Initially Bennett was too afraid to join the group. By the end of the first lesson he was overjoyed and since then he's counting down to the next class. Bennett loves his teachers and 'never wants to leave' (his own words). It's a big 10/10 from us!

Lewis really put my daughter at ease on arrival. He engaged her in conversation and she was confident and happy to go into the class. The video we were sent beforehand also really helped as she was able to see who she was meeting and what to expect.
