MIPA is a brand-new performing art school based in Wombourne Staffordshire aimed at giving young people in the area high-quality affordable performing arts tuition. What makes MIPA different Is our goal to give every student more than a weekly class in singing dancing and acting. At MIPA, we offer so much more including workshops from industry professionals, Additional weekly workshops in directing, writing, stagecraft, audition prep and the opportunity to do nationally recognised exams such as LAMDA, LCME and Trinity.
Our Saturday programme is divided into three age-appropriate stages: MIPA Movers (ages 1–3), MIPA Minis (ages 3–5) and MIPA MainStage (ages 6–18). As MIPA grows and establishes student numbers during its first year, we plan to develop MIPA MainStage into two separate age groups where appropriate.
At MIPA, we believe performing arts education should be about more than learning routines. We want every student to feel supported, valued and encouraged to grow as a performer and as an individual.
