Our world-class teaching staff and specialist tutors share the knowledge and skills gained from professional experience on stage and behind the scenes.
Taught by WAAPA’s staff and industry professionals, our weekend and holiday workshops offer practical tuition in areas such as acting, singing, music, dance and music theatre.
WAAPA is excited to offer a brand new Corporate Training program. Comprised of leading artists, practitioners and educators with real world experience of translating professional performing arts training and advanced techniques into tangible skills for individuals and organisations.
WAAPA would not be the thriving performance institution and community
it is today without the generous help and support of our donors, sponsors, Friends and alumni.
WAAPA postgraduate students and staff are involved in research and collaboration across the broadest spectrum of performing arts disciplines – ranging from music (classical, jazz, contemporary, opera, composition) to music theatre, acting, performance, dance, production and design, arts management, and more.
WAAPA fosters cross-cultural exchange through global partnerships, projects, and performances, welcoming international
students and engaging in mobility experiences, enhancing its reputation as a leading institution for performing arts education.
