OUR STORY

Founders Dani Acors and Alex Williams met early on in their theatrical careers, and have worked together on various professional productions and projects. Dani trained at Sylvia Young Theatre School & London Studio Centre in Musical Theatre/Dance and has led a wonderful carear as a Musical Theatre Performer, Dancer and Teacher. Alex trained at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in Musical Direction/ Conducting for Musical Theatre and also studied voice. Alex also went on to have an exciting early carear working in Musical Theatre as a Musical Director/ Pianist/ Conductor and Voice Coach.

The concept of Smash Arts came about one evening as the question arose of how their love for the theatre began. As most evenings went, the conversation burst into countless stories of their younger selves, and the influential theatre experiences they both had growing up. It was there that they both realised that one of the biggest things they had in common was the amazing tales of their first encounters of being in musicals when they were younger. These inspiring and skill developing experiences led them both to train professionally in theatre and go on to have successful careers in the arts which are still going to this day.

It was from this conversation that the idea for Smash Arts Theatre Company was born. How amazing it would be for both of them if they could replicate such an influential time in their lives for the next generation of performers and stars. Smash Arts’ mission is not only to create a professional, fun, and safe environment for young performers today, but to ensure that just like them, lifelong memories and friendships are made.

With an extensive knowledge from working professionally in the theatre industry, alongside a passion for teaching, Dani and Alex are so excited to share the Smash journey with everyone and continue making memories together.
