Heather Fish
Heather trained in Wimbledon with Letty Littlewood and then at the Royal Ballet School, graduating from the Craftsman's Course, as the Teacher Training Course was then known.
She then taught at the Hammond School, Chester for 14 years, becoming the Deputy Head of Dance and then at Bush Davies, East Grinstead, where she was the assistant to the Ballet Principal, Joyce Percy. Upon the closure of Bush Davies, Heather taught at Doreen Bird College and then became a member of the vocational faculty at Elmhurst. She is now a full time lecturer and examiner for the ISTD.
Heather has been a part of the Faculty of many Imperial Ballet courses and others, such as the Gloucester Seminars and the Royal Academy of Dancing International Summer Schools, as well as teaching and examining in the UK and overseas.
Appointed an Imperial Ballet examiner in 1979, Heather is now the Chairman of the Faculty, which she represents on the Theatre Faculty Board. She is also a member of the International Development committee.
She created the new set work for the Advanced 1 syllabus and was part of the team that restructured the Intermediate syllabus and created the Intermediate Foundation syllabus.
Heather was thrilled to receive the Imperial Theatre Award for 2001 and in 2002 completed an MA in Ballet Studies at Roehampton, University of Surrey.
