Hi, I’m Kat and I’m so excited to be joining the team at Sutton Coldfield! 

I spent my childhood growing up in outer London where attended my local drama school from the age of 5 all the way through to 18, Taking classes in Jazz, Modern, Ballet, Singing and most importantly Drama! I competed in many local theatre festivals whilst training and before I left achieved a distinction in my Grade 8 Solo Acting Lamda exam. I then went on to teach classes in both Musical Theatre and Drama for two years at the school. After I left I attended both a foundation course at Emil Dale Academy and at Birmingham School of Acting, where I went on to begin the 3 years BA Hons in Acting. I have attended many renowned masterclasses at the Royal Haymarket and at Monobox in the Old Vic Workrooms, also performing in sold out immersive theatre show You Me Bum Bum Train (yes- that was the shows real name haha!) As well as a passion for acting I enjoy painting and drawing in my spare time, as well as learning new instruments and singing.

Hi, I’m Tina.  I’m an actress and scriptwriter and have been teaching drama part-time for 2 years, at after school and weekend clubs.

I’ve always been creative and knew what I wanted to do from a very young age. I attended dance school from age 7, then at secondary school joined external drama classes & took writing workshops. I continued to drama school, where I trained for 3 years at the Birmingham School of Acting. Here, I developed a great love of stage & screen combat and have continued to further my skills in this area, attending various stunt courses and using my skills for roles in a number of film & theatre jobs. 

TV credits include, Doctors, Emmerdale and The Bill, plus a variety of commercials. I’ve also worked on independent movies in the UK, along with many short films. Some theatre credits include: Lady Macbeth in an adaptation of Macbeth at The Blue Orange Theatre; Hermia in The Kaos Dream, an abridged version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream that toured the UK; The Darlaston Dog Fight, a new play which premiered at the Arena Theatre, Wolverhampton, 2018.

I really enjoy passing on my love of acting, theatre & film. I try to encourage and motivate in order to bring out the best performances of people. Seeing students, of all ages, grow in confidence and ability really makes it all worthwhile!
