London Drama is a Company Limited by Guarantee (number 2570343) and a Charity (number 1001819). Committee members therefore have the option of being Trustees of the Charity, which all of them are. The current members of the Committee are:

Amanda Kipling (Membership Officer, H/E Rep.)
Amanda has taught Drama at Secondary level and as a freelance practitioner and is currently PGCE Drama Course leader at Goldsmiths College. She says: ‘London Drama had plenty of opportunities to offer me which swiftly extended my CV in a way my school job never could – board member, course programme co-ordinator, treasurer, chair, trustee, membership officer... It was this experience which has underpinned a very happy and successful freelance career.’

Carol Olivier (Primary Schools Rep.)
Carol is a teacher with experience in the full curriculum in all the primary years and with drama and dance in the Foundation stage. She has also been a deputy and acting head, was on the board of the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith and has trained primary teachers in Drama and Storytelling.
