Samantha Goodey, Arts Development Officer, Vision - Redbridge Culture & LeisureBen Williams is a breath of fresh air and joy to work with. He is an accomplished actor and always commits fully to roles and characters he is given. His flexibility as a performer and as a team player is certainly outstanding and he surpassed my expectations when working with my team of professionally trained dancers. I cant speak highly enough of Ben, he is a special person who goes out on a limb in the name of art, always pushing himself to a higher place and always giving 100%. A golden nugget!

He is a very creative tutor with a clear vision of what he wants to achieve. His ability to engage and motivate participants is excellent and he combines this with a fresh approach to ensure we run a very inclusive youth theatre.
