Alice now balances her creative work with her work in Education. She is extremely passionate about her work as a Learning Support Assistant, and thoroughly enjoys facilitating the year 7 Drama Club at her school in North Dulwich. She has taught and supported students with a wide range of physical and learning needs. Access and inclusivity are paramount to her working practice. Alice will never underestimate the capability of young performers. She sets high expectations and challenges her students to surpass the boundaries of their capabilities. In her space, her students will test their bodies and raise their voices. They will be questioners, risk-takers, and adventurers. Above all else, they will BE THEMSELVES AND BE AMAZING! I am super excited to be working with our Poppets!!
