I trained in Performing Arts and am currently working towards my MEd in Teaching and Learning in The Arts. I am also a working actor and director, with a passion for Shakespeare and currently work with the Wirral Theatre Festival team to showcase Wirral actors and plays. I have been a part of Drama Kids since 2018 and love bringing my enthusiasm and energy to the classroom. I can&#8217;t wait to welcome you to class soon!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                            \n\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"justify-center flex-wrap text-button flex gap-4 h-fit flex flex-wrap mwb-buttons\">\n                        \n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"tel:07592 873 733\" target=\"\" \n   class=\"flex justify-center gap-2.5 items-center btn black py-3 px-6  \">\n            <i x-html=\"MWBIcons.telephone\" class=\"flex w-5 h-5 max-h-full max-w-full fill-white \"><\/i>\n        <span class=\"font-bold tracking-[1.09px] text-white\">07592 873 733<\/span>\n    <\/a>\n                        \n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"mailto:thewirral@dramakids.co.uk\" target=\"\" \n   class=\"flex justify-center gap-2.5 items-center btn transparent border-b-2 border-t-0 border-x-0 rounded-none px-2 border-black py-2 underline \">\n            <i x-html=\"MWBIcons.email\" class=\"flex w-5 h-5 max-h-full max-w-full fill-black \"><\/i>\n        <span class=\"font-bold tracking-[1.09px] text-black\">Email me<\/span>\n    <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n                                                                <ul class=\"flex justify-center gap-4 md:mt-12 md:hidden\">\n                            \n                                <li class=\"\">\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/helenogradydramaacademywirral\/?locale=en_GB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"flex items-center justify-center text-link text-tertiary text-3xl\" title=\"Follow us on \">\n                                        <i x-html=\"MWBIcons.facebook\" class=\"w-8 h-8 fill-tertiary\"><\/i>\n                                    <\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n\n                            \n                                <li class=\"\">\n                                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dramakidswirral\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"flex items-center justify-center text-link text-tertiary text-3xl\" title=\"Follow us on \">\n                                        <i x-html=\"MWBIcons.instagram\" class=\"w-8 h-8 fill-tertiary\"><\/i>\n                                    <\/a>\n                                <\/li>\n\n                                                    <\/ul>\n                       \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dramakids.co.uk\/wirral\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dramakids.co.uk\/wirral\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dramakids.co.uk\/wirral\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dramakids.co.uk\/wirral\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dramakids.co.uk\/wirral\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.dramakids.co.uk\/wirral\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":93,"href":"https:\/\/www.dramakids.co.uk\/wirral\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5\/revisions\/93"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dramakids.co.uk\/wirral\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
