Western Australias Academy of Performing Arts |
The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) at Edith Cowan University.
WAAPA is recognised nationally and internationally for the quality of its graduates. WAAPA provides the most comprehensive range of performing arts training in Australia and students can choose from a range of internationally recognised courses.
World-class staff working in state-of-the-art performance and teaching facilities provide rigorous and specialised training of the highest order. These courses offer students the opportunity to realise their artistic ambitions. Entry into the courses is competitive and prospective students undertake an audition and / or interview as part of the application process.
Showcasing your talent
In this creative and supportive environment students pursue artistic excellence both on and off the stage. Every year students, staff and critically acclaimed guest artists collaborate to present over 300 public performances - more productions and more diversity than any other arts training institution in Australia. Many of these performances take place in WAAPAs own performance venues at Edith Cowan University but an increasing number of exciting community partnerships enable WAAPA to perform in a wide range of external spaces as well.
Star graduates
WAAPA graduates excel in their chosen professions around the world, confirming WAAPAs well-earned reputation. Many well known actors, dancers, musicians and music theatre stars including Hugh Jackman, Frances OConnor, Marcus Graham, William McInnes, Lisa McCune, Lucy Durack, Rachelle Durkin, Emma Matthews, Jamie Oehlers, Eddie Perfect and Tim Minchin [amongst many others], have called WAAPA home.
WAAPA designers, arts management and production graduates are highly sought after and many hold influential positions across a wide range of performing arts companies, festivals, venues, film, television, major events, arts organisations and teaching institutions.
