My name is Lydia Bailys. I have trained in Performing Arts for 15 years and have worked professionally in this industry for the last 7 years.

I’ve worked on various job roles throughout the arts including Acting, singing, dancing, writing, physical theatre, modelling, face painting, party princess work and party hosting for children.
