Nikki O’Hara - Head of School in Essex
"Not only are the facilities and faculty at Performers exceptional, but many of our staff have worked within the performing arts industry in their specialised fields (which I think is paramount), bringing back and sharing their knowledge and wealth of experience with our students to help them understand and stay current, ready for a career in the performing arts.
Here at Performers, not only do we look for potential, passion and drive when we audition our potential new students, but we promise to offer a nurturing and supportive environment that will help them grow and support the skills they have already gained."
Kieran Jae - Principal Lecturer – Musical Theatre
"The teachers at Performers have a vast range of industry experience at the very highest level of Musical Theatre and Dance. Just as importantly, they are also great teachers!
The college has always been known for its outstanding dance training, but in recent times, there has been an increased focus on all aspects of Musical Theatre, and it is the ideal place to develop your skills as an all-around performer."
