BA PERFORMING ARTS SDN. BHD.

The British Academy of Performing Arts (BAPA) is Malaysia’s first and only fully integrated performing arts academy. Launched in April 2017 in Sunway Nexis Mall, Kota Damansara, BAPA offers individual and group tuition in all 3 performing arts disciplines namely music, acting and dancing.

With a teaching faculty of nearly 30, all graduates of British or international conservatories, drama or dance schools, and highly proficient performers in their own right, BAPA brings a partnership approach to performing arts tuition based on developing a shared passion through a technical and emotional based exploration of music and the arts rather than the more traditional learning-by-rote, exam oriented, patriarchal approach more commonly practised in Asia.

All musical instrument and vocal studies are taught at BAPA as well as a comprehensive Musical Theatre course for junior and senior students which covers acting, dancing and singing as well as a programme for early years musical development. The curriculum is performance focused with exams offered as an option rather than a priority and fees are based on the experience and qualifications of the teacher, not the exam results of the student. This allows for a more holistic development of a student’s creative potential which has been proven to produce more well-rounded performers and students of a much higher calibre.  Numerous ensembles and groups are available for students to participate in and regular internal and external performances and concerts are a unique feature of BAPA.
