- Katrina McGuinnessManager/Head Teacher
I love my job! I have a wonderful time teaching kids and adults. Don't get me wrong, I work really hard, but the bonus is that I love what I do. I have been teaching Musical Theatre since 2005 and a professional Vocal Coach for 7 years, employed on feature films as a professional actor, singer, dancer, choreographer and director. I moved back to Whakatane 2 years ago to be closer to family. I grew up here and as much as I loved Wellington, Auckland, Sydney and the UK, the Bay of Plenty is paradise! You may have seen my work in recent years;
Footloose – Our Students worked with a passionate and creative director whose standards were no less than professional! This production was quoted "the best school show they had ever seen" and "the best and most fun theatre experience I have ever had!"
Unspoken - This had audiences in tears and sparked a number of great discussions around bullying, suicide and the power to accept or ignore criticism
Rewind - a current production on road safetyEmmy WalkerActing CoachEmmy's an actress, presenter and freelance screenplay writer. She studied dance, music, theatre and film at UCOL. After graduating she spent the next 3 years majoring in acting at the Wellington Performing Arts Centre where she met her partner in local crime Katrina McGuinness!
Emmy performed in many professional theatre shows, cabaret shows and local films in Wellington where she also worked as a drama teacher. From there she went on to managing entertainment on cruiseships for 3 years where she was a main presenter and event co-ordinator. Having had an amazing experience she decided to see what all the fuss is about in Hollywood and trained and performed at TVI LA.
After all her travel and experience she realised theres no place like home and came back to the beautiful BOP to be closer to her family and focus on writing. Her main interest is acting, she's about following the heart, following your dream and embracing the individual qualities that make you shine!
