Celebrating 25 years, The School at AIPA is the training facility for The Australian Institute for Performing Arts.

We instil self-discipline, technique and a good work ethic in those we work with. We encourage self-esteem, discourage the self-deprecating artists and teach pride in your work. It is okay to recognize that you are good at something as long as you can also see what you need to work on. Do what you love and love what you do.

The Australian Institute for Performing Arts (AIPA) sole aim is to “Create and Inspire”.

Our goal is to create:

★ Real opportunities for performing artists.

★ Amazing, industry relevant training courses in Australia, the US and the UK.

★ A sense of self-belief in each performer

★ Awareness of the industry and other marketplaces in the world

★ Unique performance opportunities

★ Relationships based on hard work and respect

★ Something different, alive, trustworthy, genuine, rewarding and fun

★ Trust in the industry

★ Talent development and business plans for those who are ready

And to Inspire:

★ Performers to explore their craft

★ Performers to create works

★ Performers to be self-disciplined and strive for greatness

★ Performers to realize that they are all they are. No one plays you better than you

★ Industry professionals by introducing them to emerging talent

★ Performers and professionals to ‘give back’

★ People that “life is good” and performers make life worthwhile

AIPA provides training, productions, performance opportunities and international talent development opportunities to talented individuals in all performing arts disciplines. AIPA came into existence in 2000 when the school KICK Performance Group was growing too quickly to remain a small business. We wanted to expand to offer international opportunities and needed to adapt to a company model. It didn’t change who we are or what we do, it just allows us to do it better.
