I'm Susy Big act theatre school and through my work in TV, film and theatre ive been privileged to perform in some of the worlds most amazing locations, and with some big celebrities. Highlights have been choreographing at the Albert Hall for the royal family, writing, producing and performing in my own TV sitcom, dancing and choreographing music videos for Kasabian's performers, and touring for a year with Victoria Wood. Through all these amazing experiences i've got a thorough knowledge of performing, dance, drama and singing, writing, directing, choreographing, and everything that goes on behind the scenes from production to set building, props, costume, lighting, sound, technical processes and management. When I was offered the opportunity to buy the big act theatre school in 2014 from its founder after being the dance teacher since it first open in 2008, i took out a loan and jumped at the chance to pass on my passion for performing to the next generation! I've never looked back and in these two short years, i've expanded the theatre school to teach 0-18yr olds. The 0-3yrs classes learn Shakespeare, and ive got 2yr olds who can recite lines from his plays! The 4-7s class is over-subscribed with a waiting list, and the 8-18s class have won regional finals at a national glee club competition and will be performing at the 02! Ive also secured them to perform at a number of high profile events and alongside the professional cast of Pop Factor the uk tour! And ive got two of our older members into a Chanel 4 series. Ive opened new classes at Leatherhead leisure centre and ive expanded the theatre school at Leatherhead theatre. I teach dance in the new Rosebery care home, with participants in their 90's so I'm literally covering cradle to grave and im so proud to be doing what I love.
