What do we do?
At London Performance Prep, we offer one-of-a-kind opportunities for young performers in London and Surrey. Our team of industry professionals provide training through West End masterclasses, audition and drama school preparation workshops, as well as intensive associates programmes and our one of a kind LIVE EVENTS. Trust us to prepare your children for a successful career in the performing arts.
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.

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.
