REBECCA OLALEYE

Rebecca is a passionate Drama teacher with eight years of experience, dedicated to inspiring her students through the arts. She obtained her PGCE in Drama from Goldsmiths University in London. Before this, she founded a community theatre company focused on Drama and Mask theatre, where she not only delivered Arts Awards in Luton but also collaborated with local artists and PRUs while working full-time as a Teaching Assistant in a primary school. This enriching experience fueled her desire to teach and led her to pursue further education to become a secondary school teacher.


Her love for Drama ignited in childhood and has only deepened over the years. Rebecca has volunteered at Bethlem and Maudsley Mental Health Hospital, discovering her passion for Dramatherapy and the profound healing potential of Drama. She has interned at GLYPT, contributed to Lewisham’s Youth Theatre, and taught after-school Drama and Dance classes. Now in her third school, she is thrilled to be able to facilitate Drama, helping young people unlock their creativity and express themselves.


As a Bridge Builder, Rebecca is committed to connecting with other local Drama facilitators to strengthen Community Arts and Arts education. She believes in uplifting everyone involved, fostering a culture of support and recognition.


Rebecca finds immense joy in teaching Drama, as it empowers students to explore their identities and engage with the world around them. She is a firm believer that through collaboration and creativity, Drama and the arts can inspire meaningful societal change.
