It was probably about time I shared some photos from our Show in a Week production of "Annie KIDS" back in July!

I had so much fun working on this show, with a super talented cast❤️ roll on next July's production!

Just over a month since we put on our first full scale showcase at the Academy!💫✨

So proud that we managed to pull off such a fantastic show, and our students really set the bar for what's next to come🤍

It's been a while since I posted on this account, which is kind of ironic as work has been busier than ever recently! Over the next few weeks or so I'm going to try and share some highlights from the past few months. I think it's so important to look back and realise how far you've come and how there is so much more yet to achieve.

Last week, myself and Carly delivered 2 full days of workshops in dance and drama at a local secondary school. I absolutely love working with my sister! We know each others strengths and weaknesses, match each others energy and compliment each others creativity. The dream team☁️✨

🌟 STUDENT SUCCESS 🌟

Congratulations to the lovely Sophie, who recently achieved a Merit in her Grade 2 Singing exam. I’m so proud of the progress she has made over the past few months! Keep smashing it Soph🎉✨

☁️ DREAM TEAM ☁️

A special shout-out to my beautiful sister, for being a part of my small but mighty department at the Academy, and for helping ensure our show week ran as smooth as it did. I’m so lucky to work alongside you and to have the opportunity to inspire young people, just like we were once inspired ourselves✨

We truly had the best week together🤍 photo credit: Owen Bosworth

ANNIE 2022❤️

Beyond proud of this wonderful group of talented people. I can’t believe we managed to put a whole show together in just 5 days..and perform it twice!

Our first Show in a Week at the Academy was a huge success, and my brain is already buzzing with ideas for the next one.

WATCH THIS SPACE! Young Technicians Academy - Performing Arts is well and truly on the map🗺✨

Day 1 complete✅

Still not sure if it excites me or scares me that we’ve decided to put a whole show on with just 5 days worth of rehearsals, but either way I’m up for the challenge. Here’s to a successful first day, the rest of rehearsals and a fantastic couple of shows ahead!👩🏻‍🦰❣️🐶🌞 Young Technicians Academy

Yesterday, our lovely AEP student Holly put on her own one woman show at the Academy, and absolutely killed it!⚡️she has worked so hard since being with us and she really is a pleasure to teach. I 🤍 my job!

I am so proud of these girls after their fantastic performance on Friday night. My first performance piece I’ve directed since going full time at Young Technicians Academy and it couldn’t have gone any better. They sang beautifully, looked amazing and remained professional throughout (and no one fell in the pool either!) 💦🛶🎶

Onto the next project!

Last rehearsal today with these girls, so proud of how hard they’ve worked in only 4 weeks to bring this performance to life✨ Young Technicians Academy

They will be performing some songs and scenes from “The Wind in the Willows” on Friday 24th June at the Peterborough Lido. We’ve got full animal hair and makeup lined up, and even a real boat for them to sit in on the water! How exciting🐀🛶🌾🎶🌼

A fab day working with Sarah on behalf of SCAMP💜 We spent the day teaching over 100 brownies a hand jive routine for them to perform at the end! A lovely, sunny Saturday🌞🕺🏼🫶🏻

Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them” 🌄

I can’t believe how quickly time has gone. This week is my last week of working for Premier, as I will soon be pursuing my passion into more hours at my job role as Performing Arts Coordinator at the Young Technicians Academy. This is something I have dreamed of doing ever since I finished Uni and started working. I cannot wait to get stuck into loads of exciting projects, building my department and ensuring the Academy thrives and succeeds as it should.

Let’s do this 💪🏻✨
