Professional CV

 Alice Chambers graduated from Middlesex University last year, having completed her Foundation Degree in Inclusive Theatre at Chickenshed Theatre Company. Alice has always loved going to the theatre, being involved in plays, and in general the atmosphere of stage life. However Alice's passion for drama and performance really started when she completed her Drama GCSE in 1 year; she then went on to do ALevel Performance Studies, expanding her knowledge and experience throughout the 2 years. 
Since then Alice has been at Chickenshed doing her Foundation Degree and working with children some of whom are disabled, which she has found to have been a life changing experience and has been the reason why she is working with children in school and thinking of a career as a drama teacher. 


Whilst being at Chickenshed she has performed in many shows including Gameism, the End of term show that her year devised themselves, 'Pinocchio', 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'Badjelly's Bad Christmas', 'The King's Web' and 'Cinderella'. She has also been involved in the Gala at The Royal Albert Hall to celebrate 35 years of Chickenshed and she has performed at 'The Hard Rock Cafe' in London to fundraise for the charity.


In her free time Alice really enjoys tennis, skiing, squash and often finds this the best way for her to relax but she also loves to work for an organisation called The Drama Gym leading workshops and acting sessions for children starting to gain an interest in the theatre; she loves watching them face the challenge of working towards a play each term!

Alice has been really enthusiatic with her work as a Teaching Assistant and finds it interesting working in a school  known for its work with special needs. She finds it really fascinating seeing the progression of the children, some of which have speech and language deficits and for whom reading is a real struggle. She really enjoys being around the students. Alice looks forward to widening her experience whilst working at this school so that she might be able to fulfil her ambition of becoming a teacher.
