The team

JONATHAN BRENNER - or JB - has worked with children for many years. His 10 years as a kids party entertainer helped to fund his legal studies and, since turning to professional acting 3 years ago, he regularly tours his one man show to primary schools playing variously a mad scientist, a palaeontologist, WW1 and WW2 soldier and a Roman Legionary. In the grown up world Jonathan is making his West End debut in Agatha Christie’s Witness for the Prosecution and keeps wicket for the London Theatres Cricket Club. 

Best (worst) dance - lots of dad dancing (Jonathan is dad and stepdad to 6 kids!)
Best drama game - anything with a ball!
Best joke - “Why couldn’t Shakespeare buy a pint in the pub?” “Because he was Bard”

I am a London and Paris – based teacher with professional acting training and dance background. In March, I worked as a Substitute Theatre teacher for AMAPP Aulnay musique & théâtre school in Aulnay-sous-Bois suburb of Paris. I have recently started working as a childrens’ birthday party entertainer for DREAM & DAZZLE in London. In October, Ι graduated from East 15 MA Acting course; before that, I trained at Cours Florent Drama School in Paris (2016 – 2020). Between 2017 - 2019, I was an English language teacher for The Little Friends, leading creative activity workshops, including paper crafts, songs and dance routines for children between 4 - 12 years old in the Parisian suburb Saint – Ouen. I have trained in Cabaret Dance style at Centre De Danse Du Marais in Paris and I worked as a cheerleader with Dolls Dance Team Paris for sports games for the season 2017 - 2018. In 2015, I danced with Volcanoz Cheerleaders for Paok BC in Thessaloniki in Greece, where I come from.

I adore working with children and I always feel the responsibility to make my time with them unique, making sure I contribute to them learning important values and prioritizing their joy while triggering their imagination. I love playing charades and spending time with my little nephews who are addicted to Peter Pan; I am also a huge Disney enthusiast and my favourite classic film is The Lion King. However, I also appreciate stories with a darker side who come from ancient Greek Mythology.
