About Miss Katie

Miss Katie Hankins

Katie has been performing since a young age, having trained for 12 years in Performing Arts and having performed on multiple big stages in many different roles.

She works during the day as a SEND Teaching Assistant, helping support children with additional needs. She also works at multiple Performing Arts after-school clubs, helping to teach the arts to children and bring joy through the art of performing. She has been teaching Performing Arts for 2 years, currently teaching on a Friday at KGTA and is continually working to improve professionally. Katie is also working at gaining new qualifications, most recently her Teaching Diploma.

She also works as a Party Performer and can often be seen as some of your favourite Disney Princesses. On top of this she is currently rehearsing to perform on the Disneyland Stage next Autumn.

She has previously performed in roles such as Margot in Legally Blonde at Salisbury Playhouse, Florika in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Elsa in a Musical Medley of Frozen the musical – to name a few.

She had had many opportunities that have allowed her to assist Professional Performers at a Lion King Workshop with Ope Sowande who played Simba on tour and Kelly Downing from the cast of Hamilton on the West End.
