At Perform Kensington at Kensington URC, our focus is not about teaching rigorous techniques, memorisation and repetition to produce a 'perfect performance'. Instead, we use drama-based games, exercises, songs and dances in an imaginative and fun way to help boost child development.

We started running classes at Kensington URC in September 2013 and are currently here every week during term-time on Fridays and Wednesdays.

At Perform Kensington, the Producer of the classes is Finley and the Teachers are Eli and Eloise. The sessions are looked after by our Area Partner, Sophie.

The current term runs from 2nd September to 18th December with no sessions on 28th to 30th October (half-term).

Creative Team

We spend a lot of time recruiting, training and evaluating our wonderful Area Partners, Producers and Teachers and the team at Kensington URC in Kensington 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

Finley

I am a Producer here at Perform. After training at Drama Studio London, I joined Perform in 2024 and, since then, it has been wonderful teaching so many children, and watching them shine and grow in confidence. Outside of Perform, I am an actor and enjoying doing exactly the sort of things the children do in our weekly workshops. Something I love about Perform is our weekly PF moment. You're never too old to join PF and go on an adventure!

TEACHER

Eli

I trained at the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama. I love bringing my experience as a professional actor to my Perform classes. I'm passionate about inspiring young minds through the arts and seeing how much their confidence grows through singing, acting, and dancing. Alongside teaching, I perform regularly. I've appeared in A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Wizard of Oz, and two West End productions: Kinky Boots: The Musical in Concert, and Mermaids & Pirates!

TEACHER

Eloise

I am a Teacher at Perform having graduated from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. I love sharing my passion of acting and music with the children and using the arts as a tool to inspire them to become more confident. My love for performing started when I attended Perform myself as a child. I still remember all the words to the Dolly Dolphin song!

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!

Based on how my daughter is when she knows it's Saturday morning, and how happy she is coming out, I can't commend you enough. The format is perfect and I've seen such a growth in her confidence. She already loved singing but sings even more now!
