Nicola Pike
Nicola trained at Guildford School of Acting and has worked in the performance industry as an actor, presenter and writer alongside teaching for almost 20 years. She has always been motivated by stories, believing they are at the heart of everything; whether in theatre, on screen or in her own writing, a good story must always exist! Nicola has taught for Stagecoach, Joanna School of Dance and Drama, currently teaches drama at Hoe Bridge School and also runs Penguin Parties. Her love of spoken word poetry evolved from her passion for writing and performance. She loves to pull the truth out of every child’s performance, whilst letting imaginations be stretched and displayed with confidence, harnessing freedom and control in equal measure.
Jonny Pike
Jonny is a professional musician who can be found gigging, teaching, song writing and doing session work. He loves to share his industry knowledge and create in-roads for children to understand music and music theory in a fun and accessible way, whether introducing them to it or, indeed, complimenting their current music lessons. Jonny is brilliant at breaking down pieces of music and loves a funky bass line! Jonny teaches all ages and stages.
Jonny and Nicola live in Horsham, West Sussex, with their three children. They were delighted to launch Storytellers Performing Arts after many years of collaboration on creative projects.
