Our event producer and co-host is Grace Francis.

Grace is the founder of the award winning DramEd, which brings teachers and performers together to advance learning through Performing Arts amongst young children. Helping to revolutionise the education system through creative play. F

Grace has a background as an actress, performing in theatres ranging from the Battersea Arts Centre, The National Theatre to Channel 4 and the BBC. It was a chance experience as an 11-year-old, after a month-long stint at a famous theatre school; which ended prematurely due to a lack of family funds, that became the catalyst to her lifelong passion for making high-quality arts more accessible to children.

An advocate for performers and the benefits of performing arts in education, it was Grace's experience of taking unfulfilling work, in-between acting jobs, that is behind her crafting DramEd to help performers start their own business, so they can prosper with their art.
