Current Volunteers' Biogs

Shaun Adegbaju (19) has always enjoyed performing arts but has never known how to go about it so decided to take a couple of courses in Business Admin until he found the path to take. Shaun has also enjoyed dance from a young age and would one day love to perform in a musical theatre show.  In the future he would like to go to drama school to study performing  arts, but before seeking higher education he may choose to travel to learn about performing arts in different cultures. 

Tony Chessman (18) is an aspiring actor with a passion for performing arts and theatre. After completing the BTEC Acting National Diploma with straight distinctions and obtaining skills in dance and literature, Tony is keen to pursue a career as a professional actor in the realms of theatre and television. Alternatively he would like to pursuit a career in education, teaching drama and acting to young people. After numerous shows and spending time in various youth theatres including that of The Yvonne Arnaud (Guildford), Tony became inspired to audition for Peer Productions and continue his knowledge of the industry. He believes the training he will receive will prepare him for the next level - drama school.
 

Matt Collins (18) aims to make films, produce scripts and get  into either LAMDA or RADA to do a BA (Hons) in Drama to then pursue a career in acting and somehow change the face of the world...to a smile.  Matt applied for Peer Productions hoping to  learn new skills and broaden his experience to help him get into drama school. 

Scott Freeman (18) is a young singer/songwriter who has played several venues and recorded in the last six years.  Some of those venues include the Birmingham NEC as well as the city's Carling Academy. Scott has joined Peer Productions in order to build on past acting experience while picking up new skills. He hopes to go forwards with his music, and hopes to gain a better understanding of what career he may want to pursue if he chooses the acting industry.

Sarah Gibbons (18) has always had an interest in theatre and drama. Sarah finished college with A Levels in Drama,  Photography, English Literature and Geography. She felt that she needed to enhance her skills before going to drama school. She was pointed in the direction of Peer Productions by her drama teacher. She is very much looking forward to the challenges of touring this year. Sarah intends to apply for drama school next year having successfully acquired the skills she needs from this course.

 

Kirsten Hill (18) moved from Essex to join Peer Productions to expand her knowledge of drama and film skills.  She has performed in a professional theatre in Essex for many years and hopes that the opportunity of performing for and being taught by Peer Productions will help her gain a place at a drama school in the future.  

 
 

Over the last couple of years Nell King (20) has been working in a part time in a gym as well as auditioning for drama schools.  She is a member of the National Youth Theatre and has  recently done shoots for a pilot show and a music video, but found she wanted to be doing more full on and intensive acting. She wants to gain more theatre experience and training. Working as part of a professional touring company in Peer Productions will give her this experience. When Nell leaves Peer Productions she will continue to pursue a career as an actress.

 

Katherine Morgan (21) has joined Peer Productions to develop her skills across the board in the performing arts, especially behind the scenes.  Katherine has recently relocated from Stratford-upon-Avon after spending a year training in acting, singing and dance.  Katherine aspires to go to drama  school and eventually establish her own theatre company.    

Annabel Morley (18) has recently completed her A Levels in Drama, Art, Music and English Literature. She has performed, directed and produced a variety of productions whilst studying and has recently achieved her Grade 8 in Flute.  Annabel has also toured Europe and played concerts for a number of years with a youth wind orchestra.  She hopes to gain the experience, skills and training she needs with Peer Productions in order to pursue drama and acting further at drama school. 

 

Loren Saunders (17) had been a member of several various youth theatre groups from the age of six putting on many different  productions for the public.  Loren joined Peer Productions to further her knowledge and skills in the arts and to prepare herself for drama school and ultimately a career in acting.

Vicky Shillingford (19) has long had the intention to be a performer. Having started dance lessons at a young age, she soon went on to explore both singing and acting, taking part in a number of school productions. Vicky wanted to broaden her performance and production skills before applying for drama school and had heard of Peer Productions through one of last year's volunteers. She looks forward to all the opportunities and new experiences Peer Productions has to offer.

 

Anthony Taylor (19) studied Performing Arts at Andover College.  After leaving with a triple distinction he decided to join Peer Productions to further his skills and knowledge of the arts.  After training with Peer Productions he hopes to go on to study Stage Combat at  East15.   

  

Nathan Trapnell (19) left Andover College with a BTEC National Diploma in Performing Arts. After working full time for a year to save up for his gap year, Nathan has joined Peer Productions to further his skills as an actor and learn more about other key disciplines.

 

 

Siobhan Wallis (19) came to Peer Productions this year, having been trained in Musical Theatre and been told by Drama Schools she needed more life experience. Peer Productions is giving her just that, as well as professional acting experience and the opportunity to learn a range of new skills that will help her to be more successful in future auditions.
