Meet your groups facilitator:
Claire
I worked as a secondary school performing arts and communication skills teacher for 16 years, but left in July 2024 when I realised that sadly, my passion for developing children's confidence and communication skills alongside their theatre skills was not supported by the current school system. I now coach children online from all over the world in public speaking, confident communications, interview preparation, and communication skills. I have also worked as a professional actress, including lots of T.I.E (Theatre in Education), as a Director, and I am an experienced Presenter (TV, Radio, Live, Events, Video, Online).
I passionately feel that children, for whom the school system might not be working for either, should not be disadvantaged in developing their confidence and public speaking skills. So, I created these groups where everyone can share their VOICE, their IDEAS, and their CREATIVITY. Build their CONFIDENCE, EXPRESS themselves, and EMPOWER our youth.
Plans for more group sessions/workshop events across Cornwall and Devon!!
Do you perhaps know of other perfect small venues where more group sessions or workshops could be started?
Are you part of a community that could be interested in joining together for booking one-off events, monthly, or termly sessions? or a group looking for regular drama/public speaking support?
Drop me a message, as I am very open to growing, and developing my products.
After all, EVERYONE deserves a chance to be a STRONG SPEAKER!
I would like to suggest/ am interested in knowing about any more sessions/special one-off events
