KATE BRADLEY
Hello, my name is Kate and I'm Chief FROG here at FROGS Drama.
I am the creator of FROGS Drama and run classes in East London and Essex.
Here is a little bit about myself...
I'm originally from Sydney Australia but have made the UK my home for over 16 years.
It has been my privilege to create worlds full of imagination with children for over 20 years, from Sydney to Liverpool in the north west of England and now here in East London and Essex.
Helping children realise their own authentic voice through creativity, collaboration, perseverance, and displaying their own agency is my passion.
I have two degrees: one in Acting and one in Psychology (1st class), I am also currently studying for my QTS. I have two young children of my own who both attend FROGS classes!
I believe all of the above gives me a unique perspective on exciting ways we can engage our children and help guide them through their development with positivity and enthusiasm.
I don't teach kids to act! I help them communicate effectively, express themselves with an inner confidence, enable them to work within a team and allow them the room to experience a sense of achievement and self-worth.
FROGS Drama was created through my passion for working with children.
Each class is meticulously and specifically designed to give each individual child a chance to led, to explore the limits of their own imagination and work with other children to extend and create together.
My husband Sam has written all the FROGS songs that go hand in hand with each theme. All classes are designed for each child attending FROGS to never do the same adventure twice during their time with us.
FROGS Drama is a lifelong dream that I am ridiculously passionate about.
I would LOVE to take the opportunity to welcome you to FROGS Drama.
Now let's learn, imagine, play!
BEX NIGHTINGALE
Hi I'm Bex and I have been running FROGS Drama classes in Bournemouth for over eight years!
Having moved down from London where I was based as a theatre actress, I started acting work down here in the South. Alongside this I have also hugely enjoyed working extensively in schools with the amazing minds of KS1 children and often those with SEN needs.
I now have two young children of my own and am experiencing first hand the magic of play to nuture, grow connection, process emotions and feelings and learn about our world and more!
I adore teaching FROGS for these very reasons! There's playful skill in each lesson that hones in on each individual child's potential and releases all their colourfully creative ideas.
The wonder in their eyes as they see their imaginative ideas come to life is a sheer magical joy.
With our huge variety of themes about our fantastic world, they are learning tons through play, and so am I!
