Tillie- Principal/ Teacher
My name is Tillie and I fell in love with musical theatre after seeing my first show at the Bristol Hippodrome. Ever since then I have developed a passion to perform and to pass on my love for the arts. I began dance classes at the age of 2 and have since studied ballet, tap, modern, greek and African to a high standard. I have been involved in many productions and performances but the most memorable was performing at both the Royal Albert Hall and Wembley Arena in support of Banardos childrens charity, an amazing opportunity. I trained with The Actors Workshop, a highly accomplished and selective training centre where I worked with professional actors to complete my training, following this I studied at Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance. I have a love for all things Shakespeare, taking trips to the RSC regularly and performing sonnets and monologues at every opportunity. In the past I have worked with young people to dispel the myths surrounding the difficulty of the language, and to prove the relevance of his works to this day. I discovered my passion for teaching and directing musical theatre when teaching for the Affordable Theatre Company, and there is nothing greater than seeing the confidence growing in young performers and giving them an opportunity to shine. I am so pleased to be able to offer fun, focused and friendly training in the performing arts through TSPA. I am an I-PATH (International Performing Arts & Theatre) Teacher Member and teach I-PATH acting and musical theatre and Trinity acting syllabus. |
