Here are our teaching staff at The Robinson Academy of Drama in Eastbourne. All our staff have a DBS and a Chaperone License.
Becky Robinson
I am Becky Robinson, Drama Teacher and Co-ordinator of the ‘Robinson Academy’.
I live in Eastbourne with my Husband and my two sons.
I have been a primary teacher at a local school since 2000 after qualifying with a PGCE at Roehampton University in 2000. I had previously received a 2.1 BA honours in Arts Therapies majoring in Drama at the University of Derby.
I have performed in many Plays, Musicals and Shakespeare productions over the last 25 years in the Eastbourne area, Derby and London.
As a child and a teenager I myself took LAMDA exams and found them a very positive learning experience.
Over the past 16 years I have entered my schools drama group into Music and Arts festivals in the speech and Drama categories with excellent results.
I love seeing initially very shy children and young adults grow and bloom in confidence during drama lessons and have the confidence ultimately to perform in front of an audience.
Lisa Terry
I’m Lisa Terry, part of the teaching staff at Robinson Academy of Drama.
I trained at Redroofs Theatre School, Berkshire, and graduated from the 3 year full time Performing Arts course. I have also obtained a British Actors’ Equity.
I live in Eastbourne with my family.
Sam Kavakli
Hello, I am Sam Kavakli – Teaching Assistant and Assistant Director for the youth groups, alongside being Technical Manager and Programme Designer for the company.
I joined the Robinson Drama Academy in 2013 as a 9-year-old looking to try something new and I haven’t looked back since!
I met Becky via being best friends with her oldest son Leon, who I started a duo class alongside.
Together, Leon and I competed in the Eastbourne Music and Arts Festival on a few occasions, with multiple medals and placements in our accolades as well as two trophies!
In 2022, with thanks to the help from Becky and Lisa, I completed my Lamda exam at gold medal, after making my way up the ranks.
I moved into a staff position in 2021 and I have loved every single moment.
I love seeing kids thrive and grow into themselves through the magic of theatre!
I am so proud of every student that I have ever come across and I look forward to hopefully meeting even more in the future.
