Jigsaw Arts was founded in 1995 by Nicola Lander and Colette Makindi. Nicola and Colette trained at Mountview Theatre School. Both are experienced teachers as well as performers in their own right, now specialising in performing arts activities for children and young people.

“We have found that the Performing Arts arena fully complements the students school life. It enhances focus and self confidence enabling students to access their full potential. Many students have reported a new found readiness to take part in school plays and auditions. Class presentations and reading aloud are no longer so daunting.”

“Parents inform us that children have shown increased confidence and social integration as a direct result of the course.”

“It is heart warming to see a once shy student find the courage to stand up at the end of term and recite poetry!”

“It is a great pleasure to watch a child unlock their natural ability, nurture their talent and sometimes go on to work in theatre or television.”
