By your final year you are working at a professional level on public performances, collaborating with industry directors, choreographers and musical directors. You also take part in an industry showcase and curate a portfolio that includes showreel, voicereel and digital material.

Rehearsal rooms 

LIPA’s spacious rehearsal rooms are predominantly used for workshop-style teaching and as rehearsal spaces in the lead up to performances. Some of these have their own sound and lighting facilities. The biggest rehearsal room is large enough to enable it to be marked up as the stages will be in LIPA’s theatre spaces, which makes the critical final weeks in the rehearsal process period that much easier.
