Hello! I'm Abie.

 

My journey in the performing arts spans over a decade, beginning with my own childhood love for singing, dancing, and being on stage. From a young age, I found my truest form of expression in the arts, using it to relieve stress, connect with my emotions, and most importantly—have fun! Performing was where I felt most at home, where I could truly be myself, and this love for the arts has only grown over the years.
 

After stepping away from performing myself, I found a new purpose in teaching and inspiring the next generation. I’ve spent over six years working in schools and nurseries, sharing my knowledge and passion with children and young people of all abilities. Whether it’s through musical theatre, dance, or simply encouraging creativity, I believe in the power of the arts to unlock freedom of expression, boost confidence, and foster emotional well-being.
 

I’ve been fortunate to collaborate with incredible mentors, including my childhood musical theatre teacher, who I now work alongside to continue sharing this passion. I’ve delivered holiday and afterschool clubs, worked within the community, and created spaces where young people can thrive through performance.

 

Some of my most memorable moments come from watching children who once struggled with their confidence make huge strides. I’ve seen children who cried entering the school building stand on stage and sing a solo just weeks later. I’ve watched kids who believed their worth was tied to their academic achievements, dance a solo with a beaming smile on their face—proof that the arts can change lives. These moments are the driving force behind everything I do.

 

One of the most touching experiences of my career came when I took a group of children to a local care home, where they performed songs for the elderly residents. The joy and connection shared between generations that day left a lasting impact on me and reinforced my belief: everyone, no matter their age, deserves the opportunity to enjoy music, movement, and the arts. The power of the arts to bridge gaps, lift spirits, and create lasting memories is something I’m deeply passionate about.

 

At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to encouraging people—especially young ones—to believe in themselves, express their emotions, and grow through the arts. Watching someone’s confidence blossom, or seeing them light up as a song sparks a cherished memory, is what drives me every day.

The arts are more than just a form of entertainment. They’re a vital tool for mental health and well-being, and I am excited to help others discover this.
