Chloe Lowndes

Crystal Kay

Crystal from an early age has always been driven to the world of performing arts. After first appearing on stage at the age of four, performing ballet. Her passion for performing arts grew significantly after this point. Crystal in 2016 began her PQA journey at Coventry when she was just 11 years old, followed by two years at Nuneaton and Hinkley. Staying until she was 18, she learnt many valuable skills aiding her in the performing arts industry. During this time, she played principal roles in several productions, including High School Musical, Alice in Wonderland, and Troubles a Brewin. Then in youth theatre productions Annie and the Adams family. Having the opportunity to perform on two West End stages, Her Majesty’s, and the Shaftsbury Theatre, as well as participating in master classes with Nickelodeon, Billy Elliot, Wicked and Mamma Mia gave her unmeasurable confidence and pride. Currently Crystal is studying a BA Honours Primary Education Degree at Nottingham Trent University where she hopes to inspire students to find their confidence, go beyond their own expectations and reach for the stars to find their creative potential. With 2 years teaching experience currently under her belt she is very excited to return as an assistant to give students the same incredible experience and opportunities to be yourself and amazing as she had herself. With the possibilities being endless she cannot wait to see what the future holds!
