Fixation Performing Arts Academy is run by Academy Directors Laura Davitt & Carly Pryke.
Fixation was founded in 2012 by Laura Davitt, who created an artistic company of trained performing arts professionals and youth workers to create opportunities for young people and adults to participate in the performing arts and develop new skills in a safe and collaborative environment.
In 2014 now Academy Director Carly joined the team that Laura had created and together with over 30 years of combined teaching and performing experience, they formed what we now know as Fixation Academy of Performing Arts.
Fixation Academy is a welcoming place for all to flourish, learn and grow. Our team of professionals use their extensive knowledge of the performance industry to provide quality training in disciplines acting, singing, dance, drama and musical theatre for ages 4-18 and adults.
Our aim for each person that comes through our doors is to have fun, build confidence, make new friends, learn new skills and express themselves through the arts. Whether you see the performing arts as a fun hobby or potential career path, Fixation Academy is a place for students to discover and shine. We aim to give each child the skills and training necessary to turn their own dreams into a reality.
At our Academy students benefit from weekly term time classes that work towards annual full-scale productions, in house shows and other public performances such as community festivals and competitions throughout the year. Fixation Academy of Performing Arts also gives students the opportunity to progress through their exam grades with LAMDA and the Royal Academy of Dance.

What people say about us:
Fantastic teachers!
The teachers are fantastic!
My 14 year old daughter has been attending classes with Fixation since she was at primary school and now also volunteers as a helper with the younger children’s groups. I can honestly say Fixation has been the best thing she has joined ( and believe me we’ve tried them all!).
She has had so many opportunities with Fixation, for example appearing at a Spice Girls event, representing them on a trip to Berlin, appearing in the mayor’s New Years Day parade and at many local fairs and festivals as well as appearing in Fixation’s many own shows.
For Fixation’s own shows the students collaborate with the teachers to write the shows and work through and include issues that are important to them.
She has a lovely group of Fixation friends who all attend different secondary schools so it is a great social network for her. This is a reflection of how inclusive Fixation is ;all the kids are very different and yet they accept those differences, get on well together , work as a team and socialise together.
The teachers are fantastic both at teaching and with improving the students confidence, and as my daughter has got older I have found them to also be great mentors for her.
We are so pleased that we joined Fixation !
Happy Parents
Well what a performance, it was fantastic, we really enjoyed seeing all the cast. Showing what they can achieve with great guidance and support around them.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, seeing my daughter up on that stage speaking alone in front of all those people made me cry.
I thought I would never see her do anything like that, so, so proud
Fantastic idea! Thank you!
Thank you so much for providing this opportunity to take part in a Little Visions class with my daughter for mothers Day! It was amazing to see how fantastic Hattie is with the kids and also to be a part of it all with Ella! We loved our little visions mummy and daughter time … i think you should do it for father day!!! 😉 Thank you! X
Mothers Day Streetdance session
I joined my daughter in the Mother’s Day Streetdance session. I usually do not get to see her do the class due to commitments at work, but took time off for this occasion.
We both really enjoyed dancing together! I was very impressed with what my daughter has learned so far and she herself was very proud to help me get through the warming up and choreography!
It really was a quality time bonding “session” for me and I am looking forward to future parent/child sessions!
Thank you!
