The team

Laura Mugridge: I'm a stand-up comedian, performer and writer. I'm currently virtually touring the UK with my latest act of creativity Is Now a Good Time, a quirky, funny, touching piece of telephone theatre. 

My first solo show, Running on Air, won a fringe first at the Edinburgh Festival and was featured on the Culture Show. Last year I wrote and performed Bookish, a selection of five mini shows, each inspired by a different book, which I toured to theatres and libraries throughout the UK. I am the Associate Artist at The Harrogate Theatre and of the museum of Archeology and Athropology in Cambridge. 

Throughout lockdown I have become a master of ZOOM!!! And have, along with the brilliant Nathan and amazing Henry, been delivering fantastic online drama sessions. We've had children all over the world join us as we've created crazy, wacky, wonderful, silly, storylines with some fabulous imaginative creative kids!

My favourite dance is the funky chicken: nobody looks cool while they're doing it
Joke: What did the monkeys say to each other when they won the Olympics? WE ARE THE CHIMPIONS!
My favourite drama game is Bibbity Bibbity Bop! 


Madeleine: I am a performer, theatre maker and designer currently based in London. I trained as an actor at The Oxford School of Drama, where I spent years being very serious and doing lots of Shakespeare and ‘proper plays’, but since then I have gone on to make slightly mad large scale interactive theatre with my award winning theatre company Kill The Cat (no cats are harmed during the making of our work, its just a very odd name.) 
This year I’ve also teamed up with JOY festival, a disability arts theatre festival to run a series of workshops for children with special needs. Having a brilliant time exploring dance and puppets. 
My favourite dance anything that doesn’t require any skills (I have two left feet!)
Joke: Why does it take pirates a long time to learn the alphabet? Because they can spend years at C!
My favourite drama game is Zip Zap Boing
