Alex Hammond - New Staff

We are very excited to welcome the appropriately named Alex Hammond to our teaching staff! Alex is the newest member of faculty for our excellent Theatre Arts courses. Find out more about Alex below:

Alex studied at The University of Leeds and achieved a 1st class degree in Theatre and Performance, specialising in the use of theatre in the rehabilitation of disaffected young people. He then secured a place at The Royal Academy of Music and was awarded a PGDip in Musical Theatre and LRAM in professional singing tuition. Since graduating, his work in performance has included Matilda the Musical (RSC, West End), Calamity Jane (National Tour), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (National Tour), A Little Night Music (Watermill Theatre) and Motown the Musical (West End) for which he was also the Resident Director. He has also worked in film, television and as a professional saxophonist and guitarist.

As a son of two Senior Leaders in education, the subject of learning has been threaded through the fabric of Alex’s upbringing. Alongside his acting work, he has taught for a host of organisations including British Youth Music Theatre, West End in Schools, The Challenge UK (part of the National Citizenship Service), Perform and WAC Performing Arts College amongst others.

We are absolutely thrilled to have him on board! Welcome to the team.
