About the Facilitator:

I love running acting classes that are fun, welcoming, and full of creativity -no matter your background or experience. I’m excited to share what I’ve learned from studying theatre across the UK, Finland, and the US, bringing a mix of different ideas and approaches to the creative process.

What tier of donation might best apply to me?

  • £4 – Concession Tier 1 
    This tier is for those who are students on a low income, carers, or single parents. It is also for people who are unemployed or underemployed, navigating financial hardship, or facing systemic barriers. If you rarely spend on extras or feel stressed about meeting basic needs, this tier exists so that you can still participate. Your presence matters, and you are welcome here.
  • £8 – Sustainable Tier 2 
    Choose this tier if you have stable employment or a regular income, are able to meet your basic needs and some wants, and can occasionally go out or put a little money aside. At this level, you don’t often worry about making ends meet.
  • £10+ – Generous Tier 3
    This option is for those with a comfortable income or savings, who may own their home or have access to family wealth. You might go on holidays, eat out regularly, or shop for pleasure. Contributing at this tier helps support the wider community and those accessing the concession rate.
