Centre Stage School of the Arts<\/strong>, Singapore<\/strong> was founded in 1999 to create an environment in which children can use drama to explore both the imaginative and concrete world. Based on the simple idea that creativity in children is important and the performing arts are of value to all. Centre Stage provide a comprehensive programme of performing and creative arts programmes for tiny tots all the way up to adults. With 20 years experience in Singapore they are the longest running and most successful school of its kind. As a testament to its popularity and need, Centre Stage has grown from 1 room in a condo, to two fully-fledged centres in the West (2007) and East Coast (2012). They also provide educational programmes in international pre-schools, schools and condos in the Lion City.<\/p>\n

Centre Stage\u2019s primary aim is to unlock the creative potential in every individual, from those who need encouragement, confidence building and enhanced self esteem, to those who have a passion for performing on the stage. In fact, passion is what they are all about. Centre Stage teachers are drawn from all over the world and all have their own experience in performing, from the West End of London to world tours. In addition, they are experienced teachers in their own fields and it is this combination of experience, practical application and theoretical expertise that allows students a rich and vivid understanding of the numerous applications of the performing and creative arts.<\/p>\n

Centre Stage are also a busy production house, staging dozens of in-house shows a year, including an annual Christmas Pantomime at Marina Bay Sands Theatres. Always popular with families, these shows enable many children to take part in a full-scale professional production, featuring an international cast. They have strong industry links, regularly hosting workshops with visiting professionals and work in association with Tring Park School for the Performing Arts in the UK.
