We’re taking time out of our weekend flyering and talking to parents about our Easter Theatre workshops to say hi and introduce ourselves 👋
We’re Purple Turtle and we provide fun, inclusive drama workshops. And if your child signs up this Easter, they will be given the chance to shine in our Saturday performance. (If they want to!)
We’re drama and education professionals, and we’re launching our first school holiday drama club in Notting Hill.
Yes, we’re all experienced at working with children and we understand how drama and music offer a fun, inclusive way to grow in confidence. All four of us are close friends and we share a love of theatre, music and understand the joy of being on stage.
We decided to set up Purple Turtles when we heard that good quality holiday activities can be hard to find in West London. And because we know from our own work in schools that children rarely get the time for creative play that they would like - and which benefits their emotional growth.
And we know from our experience teaching that sometimes, new skills are best learned outside of the school environment.
So here we are. Perhaps your child is ready to come out of their shell and join us?
