As the curtains close for term time classes at the Belfast School of Performing Arts, Northern Ireland’s Leading Theatre School prepares to reach an exciting milestone as they open their 10th school this September.
The new school will be located within Stranmillis College and solidifies BSPA’s position as the leading theatre school in Northern Ireland, offering exceptional training opportunities in dancing, acting and singing for aspiring young performers aged 3-19. This expansion will grow the number of students educated at BSPA to an impressive 800 students.
With a legacy spanning over more than a decade, BSPA has continuously nurtured and developed young people, instilling in them a passion for the performing arts and producing impressively high-quality youth productions throughout the year. The addition of the 10th school cements BSPA’s commitment to expanding access to high-quality performing arts education in Northern Ireland.
Tina McVeigh, Managing Director of BSPA, expressed her enthusiasm for this momentous occasion: “We are absolutely thrilled to open our 10th branch at Stranmillis College. This expansion is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and talent of our students and staff. We are proud to provide a nurturing environment where young performers can develop their skills and ignite their passion for the arts. Our continued growth reflects the demand and recognition for the performing arts education we offer.”
Joining in the celebration, Artistic Director Peter Corry who was recently awarded an MBE for his services to music and the arts in Northern Ireland, shared his excitement: “It brings me immense joy to witness the opening of our 10th school at Stranmillis College. This expansion is a testament to the thriving performing arts community we have here.
“Our commitment to excellence and fostering creativity remains unwavering, and this new school will provide even more young people with the opportunity to explore their artistic potential, make new friends and to discover new challenges.
“We look forward to shaping the next generation of young people who will benefit from joining the BSPA family. We not only want to encourage the stage stars of the future but also just as importantly we want to teach all our young people the transferable skills learnt through drama that they can apply to all areas of their lives, helping to build confident and happy young adults as they progress through life.”
