Rachel launched Breakout Performing Arts in October 2012 with the help of her husband and Co–Principal, David.
Growing up, she attended many stage schools and had a passion to set up her own, merging some of the best ideas from schools she had attended in her childhood to form Breakout Performing Arts, the company you see today. The stage schools she attended often only focused on their ‘best’ students. This had a huge impact on Rachel, filling her with a desire to see every child flourish as performers and as people, an idea that permeates through everything Breakout does.
Alongside managing the Saturday classes, her and her husband enjoy teaching music and drama privately, as well as running an exciting workshop in the summer.
