Jemma Bateman

My passion for performing started at a young age. As a child, I loved to create my own shows and characters and would perform at any given opportunity. I loved old movies and was fascinated by books and poetry.

These early insights into the creative world were the beginning of a life long passion for the arts and live performance. 

I started acting professionally in my early teens and was lucky enough to have been guided by some truly inspiring theatrical professionals. 

At age 18, I achieved a place at Mountview Theatre School where I studied for three years.  After Mountview, I was successfully cast in a Shakespeare production where they asked me to teach and lead drama workshops. This moment changed my life as this is when I discovered my second passion.....teaching!! 

Over the last twenty years, I have worked with both young people and adults in both a teaching role and as a theatre director. 

Teaching is a such a joy and I feel extremely privileged to have been part of the lives of all of my students. 

Jemma has been an actress for over thirty years. 

During this time, she was worked on stage, television, film and radio.
