Clare Bishop (Choreographer)
This is Clare’s return to Woldingham Panto, her first appearance was in Peter Pan in ’92. She has danced for the Rosslyn and Maureen Brown Schools, the Miller Centre, for the Oxted Players, the Studio School, Oxted Operatic, CODA and the London Children’s Ballet Company. It’s been a busy year for Clare… she moved house, got married and started a PHD. She’s really enjoyed getting to know the enthusiastic children who’ve been a joy to teach, and would like to thank both Cynthia Coatts and Maureen Brown for all their great advice, and being wonderful friends.

Two weeks before it opened, the Fairy had to drop out, and I found myself in the spotlight… I’ve loved it ever since. This year we decided to go for a more traditional story, but being 12 years old, it did need a little updating! I hope you enjoy it as much as we have in producing it.
