Creative Team

We spend a lot of time recruiting, training and evaluating our wonderful Area Partners, Producers and Teachers and the team at St John's Church Centre in Tonbridge 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

Maisie

Teaching at Perform brings me so much joy and is the highlight of my week! I am always amazed by the children's progress when we get to show week each term. I adore inspiring the younger generation and staying inspired myself. I watch as much live theatre as I can, 'Oliver!' being one of my favourites!

TEACHER

Felicity

I have been with Perform since 2025. I trained at East 15 Acting school studying acting, dance and singing. I love using what I have learnt at drama school to help enable children to express themselves. It is wonderful seeing the progress of children term by term. Outside of Perform, I continue with my own acting work. I love to play fun characters with crazy costumes. My most memorable costume was a burger!

AREA PARTNER

Oliver

Hi, I'm Oli! I've been with Perform since 2012 and work as an Area Partner, as well as running my own classes. Outside of Perform, I produce theatre shows and work in artist and live event management. Children have an incredible ability to find joy in the world around them, and that's one of the things I love most about my job. As an Area Partner, it's a privilege to support and develop our Teachers, helping even more children celebrate their individuality and discover what they're capable of.
