LONDON, UK. 26th September, 2023 – Robyn Betteridge, 12, is one of the UK’s youngest performing contortionists, capable of extreme flexibility and underwater contortionism.
 
Finding out about contortion via YouTube aged 6, Robyn began copying the moves from peoples’ videos. Robyn’s parents quickly found her a trainer in London, and she began training for 1 - 2 hours per week with Game of Thrones’ Pixie Le Knot. Robyn has performed a number of shows in London theatres since then.

You can see more of Robyn’s contortionism on her growing Instagram account run by her parents, where she has over 75,500 followers. 

A born entertainer, Robyn is also an actress and model from Central Bedfordshire, UK. Robyn was signed to Kids London Ltd Management aged 7 and shortly after started modelling and performing in commercials for numerous brands.

Making her first TV series debut at the age of 8, Robyn played Helga Grinwell in Amazon Prime's 'The Wheel of Time'.

She has since played the role of young Kit Tanthalos in the Disney+ high fantasy TV series “Willow.” In preparation for her role in "Willow," Robyn completed a sword fighting stunt training course.

Following her role in the Disney + fantasy series, Robyn landed a speaking role in the BBC six-part TV series called “The Gold" Playing one of the Palmer daughters which was released in February 2023. Now also streaming on Paramount Plus.
