I founded Dramatic Dreams seventeen years ago – initially as a way of earning money between acting jobs. I quickly realised that working with children and helping them to fulfil their social and academic potential through drama was far more rewarding. I also realised that drama was an amazing tool for children to be able to tap into for their confidence in other parts of life.

Over the past seventeen years I have worked hard with my fellow Dramatic Dreamers to create outstanding, inspiring workshops for primary school aged children.  I couldn’t be prouder of our testimonials from Head Teachers, class teachers and, of course, our greatest critics, the children.  We are now developing our secondary school programme and are working on GCSE and A-Level projects in secondary schools.  We are also delighted with the response from teenagers to our Presentation Skills Programme.

Our workshops are totally unique. We work very closely with head teachers, class teachers and SENCO co-ordinators, listening to what they feel the children need and then we create a programme.

We also direct and produce musicals for schools, as well, as our own holiday workshops, where we access many of London’s best performance spaces for the children: The Playground Theatre, The Tabard Theatre and The Riverside Studios. Directing children in plays is one of the parts of my job that I most enjoy. Watching a child grow into a character throughout the rehearsal process is truly wonderful.
