The Australian Institute for Performing Arts (AIPA) is a full service performing arts company based in Sydney, Australia with a very active second office in Los Angeles, California USA. The School at AIPA is our Australian based training school.
The School at AIPA, formally KICK Performance Group (KPG) is a full service performing arts school located in Artarmon on Sydney’s lower North Shore. Founded in October 1996, the school has grown from humble beginnings in a local church hall to producing world-class performers in its new state of the art studios.
The School at AIPA provides a caring, professional and fun approach for each student. Whether students take one recreational class a week or are a member of our talent development programme – spending up to twenty-five hours a week in classes – there is something for everyone.
Classes are offered six days a week for students aged two to adults in Acrobatics, Acting for Screen/Self Taping, Ballet, Drama, Hip Hop, Jazz, Musical Theatre, Performance, Professional Development, Script Analysis, Singing, Tap and Voice. (link to classes)
We instill 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 alright 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. Okay… it is a cliché, but in the creative world, truer words couldn’t be spoken.
Performing Arts is creative and inspiring and through training, performances, productions, talent development, intensives, and working with a team of people who genuinely cares about each individual who walks through our doors and their development, you will soon see what makes AIPA different. We are not about bells and whistles, we are about the work. So if you are ready to work, ready to have fun, ready to create great pieces, ready to enjoy your craft and ready to be inspired and inspire others through your achievements then the Australian Institute for Performing Arts is ready for you.
For students who wish to study short courses in the USA, please talk to one of our staff about a talent development plan. (Details at www.aipatdp.com.) Consultation to put a plan in place is free and gives students a goal and parents an understanding of the industry.
