Creative Team

We spend a lot of time recruiting, training and evaluating our wonderful Area Partners, Producers and Teachers and the team at St Barnabas' Church Hall in Dulwich 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

Miranda

I joined Perform in 2018 after studying English Literature at the University of York, and training in acting at Drama Studio London. I love drawing from my experiences as an actor to teach children drama, singing and dancing. It has been a total joy to watch their confidence and creativity flourish over the years. In addition to acting and teaching at Perform, I love yoga, 5 Rhythms dancing, hiking, camping, writing and playing guitar.

TEACHER

Rebecca

I have been working with Perform since March 2026 after graduating from Mountview with an MA in Musical Theatre. I love teaching as I like to encourage children to have confidence in themselves. Outside of Perform I love to be with my dog, play my ukulele and watch theatre shows - my favourite ones are Shrek and Operation Mincemeat.

AREA PARTNER

Jade

I trained in Musical Theatre at Midlands Academy Of Dance and Drama I started teaching at Perform back in 2006, and I still absolutely love it today! It's so rewarding to see every child flourish and grow in confidence term by term. I am also a Perform Area Partner, so every day brings a different job! Outside of Perform, you'll usually find me at a football pitch or scooter park watching my children play. I also enjoy reformer Pilates and trips to the theatre.

Michelina is wonderful. My kids have loved this class. She's accepted them as they come, finding their way in the class. And the 4C structure is lovely. Just the vibe we were looking for. Thank you.
