Founder / Spark Creator / Entertainer
Howdy,
I’m Blake — performer, storyteller, kids’ entertainer, and the founder behind The Curiosity Spark.
Let's explore how it came all about, shall we?
TLDR: What once showed up in the classroom as class clown energy gradually became one of my greatest strengths — engaging people, holding attention, and creating memorable moments. Over time, that instinct evolved into professional performance, facilitation, and eventually The Curiosity Spark.
Where It Began
With a background in theatre-in-education, acting and years spent working with young people in all sorts of creative learning environments, I’ve seen the magic of when education becomes something children step into rather than simply sit through.
The lessons that stayed with me growing up weren’t the ones I memorised for exams — they were wrapped in characters, stories, creativity, and discovery.
There's so much more to learning than correctly applying Pythagoras’ theorem.
Confidence, empathy, imagination, teamwork, perspective, and curiosity may not always appear on a report card — but they often shape who young people become.
So I found myself asking:
What is curiosity?
Do we ever lose it — or simply forget how to use it?
Where does it come from?
Where does it go?
And why does my brain immediately start singing Cotton Eye Joe whenever I ask that?
When It Clicked
Working with young people in a variety of settings revealed something powerful to me:
When learning feels like play, curiosity catches fire.
Kids become braver.
More expressive.
More thoughtful.
More inquisitive.
With curiosity the room fills with imagination, questions, and the kind of laughter we often forget to make time for as adults when life gets all sorts of busy...
Kids open up.
They take creative risks.
They ask better questions.
They surprise themselves.
Watching that spark of curiosity catch?
It's legit one of my favourite things in the world.
A Bigger Perspective
After several years exploring, travelling and guiding tours across Europe, I noticed that same curious spark come alive in people of all ages - when discovering new places, ideas, cultures, foods, and new versions of themselves.
Wherever we are, whatever we do, curiosity turns the unfamiliar into adventure.
Adventure becomes growth.
And the world opens up when we care enough to explore it.
That curious observation stayed with me - and I needed to do something about it...
So I created The Curiosity Spark to help young people build confidence, think independently, and step into the world with curiosity leading the way.
Curious things come to those who question.
Stay curious. Always.
— Blake
