• A Brief History •
The directors of Millennium have a combined 80 years of professional experience between them. Sixty of these years have been shared with their dedicated interest in educating future generations. Each director is a specialist in a particular discipline: ballet, jazz/musical theatre and modern contemporary dance. Their professional knowledge covers all aspects of performing incl
uding ballet and modern contemporary dance companies, opera, musical theatre, TV, film, cabaret, artistic directorships and administration. The directors shared a mutual belief that a high intensity course in the manner of a conservatoire covering every aspect of performing thoroughly but without specialisation would produce a complete artist. The directors used their experience as teachers in the vocational training sector and their authorship of other schools’ degree courses to refine a program that would deliver training most effectively.
In September 1997, Millennium Performing Arts was born.
Theatre is a tradition. The directors are committed to a doctrine to uphold and celebrate the best aspects of technique, ethics and etiquette while embracing the best in new developments and standards. We stand on our reputations.
