I started my Academy of Performing Arts because when I was a kid, some of my happiest times were spent in drama classes – making new friends and learning new stuff, whilst going on some fantastic trips of the imagination!

I think the world has changed since then, its all fame, fame, fame now and at almost any cost. And yes, although an acting career is a great one is can also be a road of disappointment that not all are prepared for. There is so much more you can get from training in performance arts than a career. It builds confidence by the bucket load, creates bonds, teaches respect, and even how to listen (very important as life goes on…).

So I wanted to re-create the experience that I was lucky enough to have at the drama school I attended, learning performing arts in a safe and fun environment with a professional attitude!

We opened our first academy in September ’07 and I’m so pleased we’ve been able to bring our own unique brand of performing arts training to so many kids since then.
