Make Believe was established by Joel Kern in 2004 and began with just five children. We have since grown the brand across a variety of platforms both on and offline. We currently have 3500 students attending our classes weekly with the aim to build on their confidence and self-esteem whilst teaching skills for life. With an international presence in both the UK and Australia we are proud to have a full-service creative hub delivering capabilities across a whole variety of areas including; production, talent management and events. We have produced shows at The O2, Elstree Studios and the Novello Theatre whilst taking our talent platform ‘One Dream’ to Israel in line with Eurovision. Our clients include; Intu Shopping Centres to Saatchi & Saatchi, Haribo, Nike, Samsung and Coca-Cola. Students have gone on to star in Pricilla Queen of the Desert, A Dolls House, On Your Feet, The King & I, Lord of the Flies and Thriller Live. We manage educational programmes for our partners throughout China welcoming students annually from Beijing, Chengdu, Shenzhen and Shanghai. Since our establishment I am proud to have welcomed 25000+ young people to be a part of the Make Believe journey.
