ABOUT SHERENE CLARKE

I began training in the performing arts at the very young age of three. Always a busy child, demanding the full attention of my family and friends, my parents enrolled me in a Saturday performing arts school. This is where I discovered my passion for singing, dancing and acting.

At the age of 17 I was awarded a full scholarship to attend one of the most prestigious Musical Theatre and Dance colleges in London - Arts Educational. After completing my three year course, I went on to work professionally as a performer in London’s West End, understudying and then playing Nala in The Lion King, both in London and Paris.  I also toured the UK and Europe in shows such as Grease, Glee, and Cinderella. I was featured in several prime time TV commercials and appeared on a TV show called ‘Anonymous.’

Having moved to Wellington in 2015 with my Kiwi husband and two daughters, I am thrilled and excited to be bringing all my skills, knowledge, experience and passion to this side of the world, and look forward to enriching students’ lives with the performing arts.
