London Performance Prep was founded by Charley Maclaren. Charley started her career as a child and went on to perform and choreograph professionally for many years. Alongside performing, she taught at various performing arts schools and colleges. London Performance Prep was started because Charley wanted to start a company that goes beyond children's existing training, inspiring young performers to step into the industry that she loves and adores, while also providing performance opportunities without the need for a professional job.

After witnessing the talent that we have at many dance and theatre schools Charley decided to do something about the lack of opportunities there are for young performers. That is why LPP provide different masterclasses and workshops throughout the year lead by the actors and industry professionals from the stage and screen themselves. Children will be able to gain industry experience without having to land a professional job. Our aim is to best prepare the next generation of talent for what they want to do, whether that be an audition for their school talent show, an audition for a west end show. Work with the professionals to learn material from your favourite shows. We bring the very best to you, whether that be someone who has performed in your favourite show, casting directors or even agents. Come meet and train with the people who once aspired to have a career in the performing arts, just like you. Every Masterclass is unique in design and tailored to a specific skill or show with hand picked professionals who share our ethos about being fierce on stage and kind off. We believe that the performing arts is for everyone. 

 

Wellness & Wellbeing

It is always at the forefront of our minds that mental wellbeing is so important especially in what can be such a competitive industry. Having trained in leading drama schools, worked/working in the industry and teaching in various schools all over the UK, it is evident that not enough time is spent nurturing young performers mindsets as there is spent on nurturing their skill set.

This industry can be glorious, exciting and so rewarding, yet it can also be challenging, turbulent and taxing which is why we started including mindset in a lot of our workshops, programmes and hold specific Wellness workshops too. These practises have helped many young performers recognise that they have the ownership over how they feel and are more than their craft whilst giving them the tools to continue to practise this day in day out. We know that this is an invaluable skill, not only for young performers but for young people in general so be sure to keep an eye out for upcoming Wellness workshops.
