Creative Team

We spend a lot of time recruiting, training and evaluating our wonderful Area Partners, Producers and Teachers and the team at O2 Centre in Swiss Cottage 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

Aled

I'm from South Wales originally; I came to London to train in musical theatre after receiving a scholarship to train at the Urdang Academy. I adore sharing my expertise with budding new actors and to work on confidence with my children in a fun, safe environment. Outside of Perform, I often sing in concerts with my Welsh language choir "Cor Llundain" and will beat anyone in Mario Kart!

TEACHER

Katherine

I started working at Perform in 2016, and I love bringing our the best in my students through fun and laughter. I am a working actor, and have worked for Disneyland Paris and Beaches Resorts as well as regularly performing in the pantomime at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. It is such a joy to use my skills to build the confidence of my students, and make sure that they feel safe to be their authentic selves!

AREA PARTNER

Hannah

I've been part of the Perform family since 2015 and work as an Area Partner and Producer. I also oversee our LAMDA classes and deliver SEN training. My favourite part of the job is making children laugh and creating a safe space where they can thrive. Outside of Perform, you'll usually find me reading, walking my dogs or learning something new. I'm particularly interested in Psychology and History!

Isabella always comes out of her Perform class a little more confident each time. She then spends the rest of the week looking forward to the next class. Aled always makes me smile as he’s so upbeat and happy! I can’t speak highly enough of Perform.
