Being professional backstage is just as important as your performance on stage or screen! Here’s how to keep things running smoothly.

Social media offers young performers opportunities to showcase their talents and connect with others. However, it's essential to use these platforms responsibly to protect mental health and adhere to legal standards.

Auditions can be exciting and a little nerve-wracking. As we head into audition season, it’s important to remember that not everyone can “get the part”. Whether it's for a play, a dance performance, or a sports team, everyone hopes to land the role or spot they've been dreaming about. But sometimes, things don’t go as planned, and you might not get the part. That’s okay! Here’s how to deal with those feelings and keep moving forward.

Attendance is obviously very important when committing to Performing Arts training, however if your child is sick, we do recommend they stay home to avoid the spreading of germs.

Acting for film is all about subtlety and truth—unlike stage acting, where bigger expressions are needed, the camera captures every tiny detail. Here are three key tips to help young performers shine on screen.

At NAPA we have teachers and staff who are working long hours at the studio, and most also have jobs outside the studio. We believe that all staff have the right to disconnect from work outside of their professional hours, which includes the expectation that parents respect their personal time by refraining from messaging staff on private social media or personal phones.

A proper warm-up is essential for preventing injuries, enhancing performance, and preparing both the body and mind for the demands of dance, acting, or singing. Staying healthy ensures consistency, stamina, and longevity in a performer’s career.

At NAPA, we are committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all. Our new Anti-Bullying Policy reinforces our stance against any form of intimidation, while our educators undergo mental health first aid and consent training to ensure they can support and empower students with sensitivity and awareness. Together, we can create a safer, more supportive space for everyone in our community.
