Nikki's journey in the performing arts began with The Guildhall School of Music and Drama and LAMDA. However, her roots in musical theatre run deep, as she grew up immersed in its world.

 

After years of performing herself, Nikki transitioned into directing and choreographing for Semi-Professional and Amateur Societies in and around Essex, accumulating an impressive 35 years of experience.

Her lessons cater to individual needs and cover various aspects of performance, from character development to vocal techniques.

​

Throughout her career, Nikki has contributed to over 70 productions with Amateur societies, many of which gained awards. Her diverse repertoire includes classics like 'South Pacific', 'Fiddler on the Roof', and 'The Sound of Music', as well as contemporary favourites such as 'Legally Blonde' and 'Chess'.

Nikki's versatility extends to pantomimes, where she has showcased her skills in slapstick and audience participation, both as a Principal Boy and as a Director.
