Rachel Bex

Rachel Bex is a British actress. She was born June 12, 1998 in Gateshead, United Kingdom. Bex joined a children's Saturday theatre school at the age of ten and continued attending until she was seventeen. During this time, she completed her LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) solo acting exams. In 2015, Bex achieved a distinction in her Grade 8, Gold Medal exam. When she was thirteen, she began working at the theatre school as the classroom assistant for the preschool classes (aged two to four years), and taught the class from the ages of eighteen to twenty-one. During her time studying acting at Gateshead College, from 2015 to 2017, Bex performed in musicals for amateur dramatic companies, student films, and short films. She went to University to study for her Musical Theatre Degree in 2017 to 2020. In her first year, she studied stage combat with 'True Edge' to get her BADC Foundation certificate and six months later, completed her Standard Certification with 'Northern Forge' in York, UK, where she achieved a distinction. In 2018, Bex was a member of the BBC Proms Youth Choir where they performed at The Royal Albert Hall. The choir performed Eriks Esenvalds' 'A Shadow' and Beethoven's 'Symphony No. 9' during Prom 9: War and Peace. Bex's first professional acting job was during her last year of University. It was the 2019 Christmas performance of 'The Snow Queen' at Northern Stage. Directed by Mark Calvert, she played an ensemble member and was the understudy for the lead female role, Gerda. This experience solidified for her that this was the career she wanted to pursue.
