Our wonderful facilitators:
Tabitha (Drama Stars)
Hi! My name is Tabitha, I teach drama classes at Z-arts. I have trained with the National Youth Theatre, the Royal Exchange Theatre Young Company and have seen first hand the importance of young people attending drama classes to build their confidence and social skills. I specialise in improvising, devising and comedy. I always carry a parachute and a couple of puppet friends!
Kirsty (Happy Makers)
Hi, I’m Kirsty! I’m an artist and creative facilitator, and I run happy Makers for Z-arts. I love making, painting, creating and helping others do it too!
Hannah (Rhythm and Rhyme Club)
Hannah is loads of fun! Hannah comes to us from the world of Tiger and Mog – shes also a Story Explorer. Join her to make some music every Tuesday in our snuggly cinema room
Gilly Bean (Yoga Stars)
Hi, I’m Gill and I’ve been running creative sessions at Z-arts for 10 years now – wow! I’m currently doing Art Stars, Z-artists and now Yoga too. I love to take inspiration from the ideas and energy of young people to help shape our sessions together. Art makes children POWERFUL!
Richard (Studio sessions and Podcast Club)
Richard is an absolute legend at all fashion of musical geekery! Come and help us generate an online buzz with our podcast club or record some songs in our Levis Suite or Studio Z. Become famous. Make loads of money. Tell the world about Z-arts.
Natasha (Resident Dance Artist and twirly person)
Hi! I’m Natasha and my life is dancing. I have 2 small boys who are full of beans so I’m always on the go at home as well as at work. I’ve been running dance classes here for many years, you might have seen one of our famous dance showcases in our theatre which we are very proud of! I love dance so much that soon I will be a DOCTOR of dance, which is very exciting. I look forward to having you in my classes!
Jana (ZYP)
Jana is back (with a vengeance) from maternity leave and ready to GOOOOO with some teenage drama (the good kind). Join her every Tuesday evening at 6pm. They’re a cracking bunch of young people (and Janas ok too!). Its not your average drama class…
