Meet the Team
The MAD Scientist
Passionate about inspiring confidence and self-belief in others
Hello and welcome, curious one! Lovely to virtually meet you.
My name is Helene/Lena. I hail from a little coastal town in beautiful New Zealand. I have been passionate about helping people reach their full potential professionally, artistically, and personally for the last 8 years.
I am playful and curious by nature, and I am excited to have this opportunity to support you in exploring and achieving your theatrical dreams.
After completing a double degree in Performing Arts and Classical Music Performance at Otago University, New Zealand, I relocated to Scotland to further study Singing and Theatre at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. My passion for singing and acting has led me to be involved in many plays, films, musicals, & operas.
Whether it be technically, emotionally, or musically, I love the creative process of learning and teaching. My passion for meeting new people and performing is evident in my goofy energy on and off the stage and embedded in my weird sense of humour.

A small town pup from Aotearoa, the Assistant (Roxy) has recently reunited with the M.A.D. Scientist in Scotland.
This hypoallergenic Spoodle has ensured the smooth running of the Theatre for the last five years.
Using her gift for sniffing out raw talent, she thoroughly enjoys working with clients, providing her own special kind of support, canine cuddles. You are sure to see her dashing in and out of the office during your visit, and if you are lucky you'll get to hear her dulcet howling tones.
