Gemma Naylor - Principal PQA Manningtree

Passionate about performing arts training for children and young people.

I have always been passionate about nurturing the talents of young people. We all learn and thrive in different environments, and I truly believe that training in the performing arts helps improve a student's academic performance as well as enhancing their social skills, self-esteem, their ability to work in a team and project manage. Most importantly PQA Manningtree is a fun environment for your child to flourish and to feel proud of who they are.

During my professional career in the performing arts industry, I have been fortunate enough to star in productions both in London’s West End and in No.1 theatres around the UK. As a member of pop group Go!Go!Go! I was a regular face on the television network Nickelodeon where our music videos were played 5 times a day. I was also lucky enough to read a bedtime story with the loveable Arnie and Barnie. I have worked across several areas of the industry and most recently was a Producer on the short film “I CAN SEE” which was selected by the prestigious Hollyshorts film festival in Los Angeles and premiered at the Chinese Theatre in the heart of Hollywood. I look forward to welcoming you and your child to PQA Manningtree.
