Irene Sarrinikolaou

Welcome to our little corner of ClassBento!We’d love for you to join one of our themed creative experiences at our beautifully appointed studio, alfresco café, and cosy courtyard.Our main business is showbiz — our studio is a fully working performing arts teaching space. So if you’re walking by, you might hear a Shakespearean monologue, the top C of a Puccini aria, a guitar riff, or a chorus of six-year-olds singing Disney songs with total conviction. You might see props being built, costumes being stitched, or rehearsals for a full performance extravaganza. And yes — there are costumes hanging absolutely everywhere.Alongside our performing arts work, we host special themed events designed to give you an afternoon of joyful learning in a highly theatrical, immersive, and imaginative way.In our Cookies & Couture series, you’ll step into the roles of both baker and costumier, creating delicious biscuits and mini couture pieces inspired by the theme of the day. Bring your besties, pick your experience, and get ready for creativity, laughter, and pure delight. We guarantee you’ll leave joyful, inspired, and full of sweet treats._____________________________________________________________________About Ms IreneThat’s me!
