[[Image:doreenbird.gif]] '''Doreen Bird''' - '''FISTD, ARAD, Hon MA (University of Greenwich)''' (27th January 1928 - 4th February 2004)
Doreen Bird was the founder of the Doreen Bird College of Performing Arts in Sidcup, Kent. Opening as the Doreen Bird School of Dance in 1945, it first offered full time training in 1951 and has since grown to become one of the UK's most respected colleges for dance and musical theatre. The junior school closed some years ago as the focus moved towards improving and expanding the college and now, 62 years later, the college continues to thrive under its current name [http://www.birdcollege.co.uk Bird College, Dance & Theatre Performance]. In recognition of her work in the field of dance and musical theatre, Doreen Bird was awarded an Honorary MA Degree from the [[University of Greenwich]] in 1999.
