About Us...

Where we started.... 

Picture
Through The Wardrobe was first started in 2000 to fill the lack of affordable, professional acting classes in the area. Inspired by C S Lewis' famous children's book, we use our own unique technique of going 'Through The Wardrobe' in our classes to use imagination to spark creativity. Nicki founded Through The Wardrobe after settling in Gerrards Cross having given up her successful dance and choreography career to start her family. TTW quickly became incredibly popular due to its affordable yet professional classes and the performance opportunities available to TTW members - something we're still passionate about today. 

Nicki no longer teaches TTW classes (although she can often be spotted helping backstage at shows!) and her classes are now run by her daughter, Ella. Ella has always had a passion for acting and performing and was lucky enough to perform onstage at Her Majesty's Theatre and The Royal Albert Hall with TTW as a teenager. Ella's passion for acting has manifested in a passion for teaching at TTW and in particular, for writing and directing all TTW productions. Ella trained in script writing RADA and regularly takes opportunities for further acting training to help TTW students.

We're proud that ​Through The Wardrobe is an independent family run business and because of that we have a real passion for our members. ​We know each and every one personally and work hard to help everyone achieve through drama 

TTW Values 

Picture
INCLUSION - At TTW we value our inclusive classes, where every child is included. We don't have any 'stars' or favourites - each and every TTW member is just as vital as any other and everyone is encouraged to bring value to their classes, rehearsals & performances

IMAGINATION - All our classes are based around the imagination of our members. Imaginative play is the foundation of great acting, boosting confidence and blossoming creativity 

COMMUNITY - We strive to build a real sense of community at TTW and we love putting on exciting events for our members. We adore taking groups to see live theatre, running exclusive workshops for our members and, of course, our annual awards night - THE TTW OSCARS! 

CONFIDENCE - Drama helps build confidence in every child and our aim is to facilitate improvement in all our members. This will look different for different children: some might find a huge sense of achievement just speaking one line on stage; others might need us to help coach them for a professional audition or drama scholarship. 

INDIVIDUALITY - Your child's individual personality is what makes them amazing and we strive to celebrate the uniqueness in every single one of our members. One of the reasons we write all our own productions is to give every child a chance to shine in a role tailored to them.
