Chiara Laferla

Chiara is in her final year at Queen Mary’s University of London studying Drama and English. She believes that storytelling not only enhances communication skills, it is also extremely engaging. There she is constantly getting involved in performance; stage management; hair and makeup; lighting and sound, especially in the Queen Mary’s Theatre Company.

In 2018, she competed in the Speak Out Challenge Finals at the Cambridge Theatre and became a public speaking Ambassador. This developed into cohosting the FAB Awards (awarding the achievements of the UK's educational organisers) 2022, and her article in the Gaurdian explaining the importance of public speaking for young people in 2023. Chiara believes that everybody deserves to rock their spotlight and celebrate themselves. She is bubbly with a positive can do attitude and loves reminding others that they can too.

Musical Theatre excites Chiara as she enjoys watching and participating in every aspect of it that she can, especially acting when delivering drama workshops for younger years at school. In wake of gaining work experience at the Vibe Arts West End Week 2019, Chiara was ecstatic to rejoin the Vibe Arts Team and share her love for theatre with many smiles, laughs and the enthusiastic energy children can champion so well.
