About Us
Academy Kidz Agency is located in the heart of Derbyshire. It was established in 2012 to run alongside our busy drama school in Derbyshire. It now provides child actors to the majority of productions that come into the Midlands. We have procured nearly 5000 jobs for children in the Midlands since we started counting! We represent children and babies from 0 up to young adults of 18 years. We also have a pool of registered, professional chaperones who work alongside them.
Felicity, Agency Director, worked as the manager of a busy TV casting agency for adults from 2000, alongside training as a dance and drama teacher. When she purchased the theatre school in 2012, it was a natural progression to open her own children’s agency.
We are proud to have the status of ‘BBC preferred agent’ and work diligently to advise productions on child safeguarding issues and the regulations of child employment for performance.
Not only is Felicity a casting director but she is also a qualified
Speech and Drama teacher with London Collage of Music (ALCM) and London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (P.Cert LAM).
Children we have represented have worked on hundreds of mainstream TV productions for the BBC, ITV, and Netflix, major feature films, commercials, corporate videos and even on stage with the National Theatre.
