It's been such a blessing to see what you all do for the Community. The selection of courses are so fitting for this age group and really offer enriching experiences for our children. I cannot believe the price and others are surprised too but it does make it accessible and is a real help to families without the financial means to engage with these activities elsewhere. I am reassured by the ethos you have of building confidence and relationships within groups of peers as well as preparing them for a stage performance. But the emphasis being on the former. Thank you for your consistent support, warm welcome, hard work and organisation and dedicated staff.’
Tom Kane, facilitator
‘I just wanted to thank you both for the opportunity yesterday. I can honestly say I haven’t felt so grateful to be involved in the creative arts for a long, long, long time. What you did for those students yesterday was an absolute handful of gemstones and it was an honour to be part of it. Especially as a North London kid myself, I was enormously proud to be in the room yesterday and watch the ever-flowing talent of people
from my area. It is a criminal and ever-present shame that there is not more being invested.’
Nancy Brabin-Platt, alumni
I could argue that Collage voices single handedly launched my professional acting career. Being neurodiverse, I often felt that a career in the creative arts was not obtainable for me. However, the committed and enthusiastic staff (with special thanks going to the incomparable Steve Medlin and the iconic Che Walker) believed in my talent and supported me in everything.
Collage Arts single handedly funded my drama school application, allowing me to access training at one of the top five best drama schools in Britain. Collage gave me a space to explore my identity and helped me spearhead the creation of my very own monthly drag event which is now renowned across London. Collage supported me with free rehearsal space when my one women show was selected for Theatre Peckham's Summer Season. Each one of these kindnesses, allowed me to open doors that otherwise would have been closed. I can say with absolute certainty that I wouldn't be where I am today without Collage voices. Everything and everyone involved holds a special place in my heart.
Hannah Currie, alumni
Collage not only gave me the space to grow as an actor and an artist, but as a person. The community is accepting of everyone, and pushed me to be the most trusting, collaborative and defenceless version of myself. It helped me find power in my voice. Through Collage's training and teachers, I was able to sign with an agency in London and gain a place at drama school in New York - I have everyone within the four walls of Collage to thank for that.
