Season's Greetings!
.
As we draw to a close a successful 2023, we wanted to take this opportunity to congratulate you all on this year’s achievements.
.
From exams, eisteddfods, and showcases through to end of year recitals and concerts, often we have little time to stop and reflect on how much we have given and delivered throughout the year working with our students. It is a timely reminder that through it all and amongst the busy schedules you have consistently showed up, supported and cheered from the sidelines, encouraged student learning and development in their practice and performance.
.
As we head into the festive season to enjoy time with family and friends, produce a joyful Christmas and take in some much needed rest and relaxation, quickly 2024 will be upon us and we’ll be on the go all over again. Let’s be honest we enjoy the break but being on the go creating performance is our happy place!
.
So with a BIG thank you to the super users who are always there to support us, the early members who have been with us from the beginning and to all the incredible performing arts teachers who make APATA what it is, we look forward to working with you all again in 2024.
.
We look forward to our biggest awards season yet in 2024, keep your entries coming in! Entries close 1st March 2024. We have connected with, and learnt from, some wonderful people this year and we look forward to meeting our 2024 presenters for our program of professional development and creative pathway courses.
.
However you choose to spend these holidays we wish you a safe, happy and healthy festive season. Thank you for a brillant year and here’s to a great 2023. We hope you will join us along the way in 2024. Have a wonderful summer break and safe festive season.

In this month’s podcast episode APATA’s Managing Director Yolande Smith and Emma Louise Pursey discuss educating actors, the benefits of Integrated Actor Training based on the Suzuki Method of Actor Training, and the creative process in today’s technologically evolving world. “Technology is so democratic”, Pursey says, “It opens up the options to take your power back. You can really explore your own creativity and get it out there. ” (www.emmalouisepursey.com)
