As performers growing up in the North we wanted to change the amount of opportunities available especially when it came to working with Industry Professionals and so, NPS was born.
As teachers in many performing arts colleges around the North, we wanted to provide something extra on top of your training to tackle this issue.
After witnessing the talent that we have here in the North, we decided to do something about the lack of opportunities there are for you, our young performers. That is why we provide different West End Masterclasses throughout the year lead by the performers from the shows themselves.
Our aim is to best prepare you for what you want to do, whether that be an audition for your school talent show, an audition for a west end show or just enjoy learning a new routine from a show you love, giving you opportunities to learn from the best in the business and all without travelling to the South.
Take a look at our events page for the upcoming Workshops and Masterclasses, we have something for everyone. We believe that the performing arts is for everyone.
