Meet Harry & Megan Hindley, the founders and creators of Copper Studios. Both Harry and Megan have studied in Performing Arts and have years of amateur and professional experience. In September 2015 Harry & Megan decided to offer a Musical Theatre class at the Nottingham Girls Academy on a Friday evening for students wanting to explore singing, acting and dance. On the first session they had 6 students arrive and after an exciting hour they couldn't wait to come back the following week. A couple of months down the line, the classes started to grow and word of mouth spread the news of these brilliant new classes.

be unique drama and dance

Founded in July 2017, Be Unique Drama School aims to provide children with an insight into the importance of drama and dance to help them grow as a unique individual. By igniting the children's imagination, promoting their confidence and having lots of fun along the way, Be Unique Drama is an experience which every child can blossom in and enjoy. We strongly believe that drama can be used in every area of life, building confidence and developing imagination, helping us to aspire to be the very best we can be. Teaching the importance of this to a child at an early age will undoubtedly provide them with a sense of self importance and confidence in their own ideas and opinions. The ultimate aim is that we ensure the child enjoys and learns more about drama, as an art form and gets the opportunity to express themselves as the unique individual that they are. Martina McAfee, the company's director, is extremely passionate about bringing her love of drama to the younger generation, and providing them with opportunities and experiences she feels were lacking in the Arts sector during her own childhood.
