Testimonials
Olivia Cloud
"Gemma has always gone above and beyond as a mentor, principal and agent. She cares about each individual and invests her time and efforts into ensuring we soar and succeed in both our personal lives and careers. Gemma is trustworthy, honest, reliable, efficient and connected, and uses these attributes in a non selfish way, as she cares for her students and always lets us know when opportunities arise for us. She is also involved in the process of audition preparations, to ensure we are ready for the audition and have a higher chance of securing the job. Gemma has assisted me in Dubai at facilitating Trinity College London Examinations. Gemma has simply changed my life. She is someone I am eternally grateful for and without her, I would not be where I am or the person I am today.

Gemma makes sure to go above and beyond by providing the correct attention that each different student requires. She helps you investigate certain parts of yourself that you don't and can't fully grasp yet and assists you in figuring them out, whatever they may be. Whether through discussion, practical engagement in work or sometimes when required, a stern talking with. She brings to life a whole other aspect of performance arts learning to life for her students which is self awareness and self growth. This mentor like relationship that Gemma is willing to take you through is extremely beneficial as an artist and can help place you years ahead by understanding your value, flaws and how you operate behaviorally as a human being, which is a big part of what we do as performers. If students meet her half way at least they will discover new aspects of themselves they never knew before and bring forward a new found maturity and perspective.

Gemma is the reason I am the performer I am today. I started lessons with her at her Performing arts School - Stageworx, over 10 years ago & immediately knew that this is the career path I'd take. Gemma guided & inspired me to pursue my dreams & I am forever grateful to have her as a mentor.
