BAPA has been renamed its now called the- The Arts Academy Over the past 3 years the former BAPA has enticed the expertise of many accomplished teachers and choreographers from NIDA, VCA and WAAPA plus visiting international celebrities. Its now producing the finest talent in Australia. The Arts Academy is one of very few institutions to offer a BA in Music Theatre. In 2008 the 2nd year Music Theatre students are performing in a professional musical, this will be a first. The Arts Academy is a $30 million facility that allows aspiring performers to take the first step in their careers. “Dedication to the craft without interruption is more than possible and easy access to a beautiful environment prevents insularity. Melbourne is only an hour away by train. For students away from home, Ballarat is safe and manageable. The virtue of Ballarat is its history as a bustling commercial centre and its reality as a regional town, which makes living, working and studying a pleasure”. Recent productions at the Arts Academy include Anything Goes at the historic Her Majesty’s Theatre, Bat Boy and They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? Third Year graduating students have performed at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre and Theatreworks, and this year took their production of The City Wit to London. Graduates include Sebastian Bertoli and Wil Greenway (The Pacific) Eliza Brian, Claire George and Josh Piterman (Tokyo Disney), Chris Durling (Bindi the Jungle Girl), Adam Stafford (Neighbours), Libby Tanner (All Saints), Peta Brady (Mullet), Michelle Pitcher (Oliver) Adam Lubitz (We Will Rock You), Glenn Quinn and Matthew Heywood (Mama Mia).

Not wanting to intrude on

Not wanting to intrude on this discussion, but... It may surprise you to realise that lecturers and course coordinators are usually busy enough with their current crop of students without having to chase down graduates to find out what they're doing. Add to the fact that most graduates don't keep in touch regularly with their lecturers, and that at any given moment they may be in work or out of work... and you won't have much news to report about the graduates of any given course. Unless of course, the graduate happens to be an international household name, like Cate Blanchett, etc. Think of the number of graduates you would have over several decades worth of courses, and you also have one very long list of people to keep in touch with. Too much work for not much outcome. Mini-monster puppets customised just for you! at Puppets in Melbourne
