Practice Performing Arts School
School in Waterloo

The Theatre Practice (TTP), Singapore’s first bilingual theatre company, has planted its feet firmly in Singapore's cultural life.
Arts training will not only teach our young new creative skills, knowledge and techniques, but more importantly, develop interpretive capacity, build confidence, stir imagination, foster self-discipline, and offer useful entry points to a vast cultural heritage.
Through arts training, PPAS students are taught to take on life, not just examinations.
It opened with the belief that arts education is an integral part of the total development of an individual.
www.ttp.org.sg Practice Performing Arts School (PPAS) was founded in 1965 by choreographer/dancer Goh Lay Kuan and the late dramatist Kuo Pao Kun, both Cultural Medallion recipients.
Established in 1994, the Student Theatre Exposure Programme (STEP) conducts theatre outreach and arts awareness programmes in local schools.
Besides producing English and Mandarin performances for the main season like the sell-out hit musical If There’re Seasons…, Thunderstorm, Lao Jiu: The Musical and the Poor Theatre Series, TTP also incorporates a strong arts education wing.
While it provides access to global influences through international collaborations, TTP remains true to its assertion of local identity.
Founded in 1986 by Kuo Pao Kun, TTP’s approach to theatre-making reflects the intense struggle between tradition and modernity.
In this multi-racial environment, its sensitivity to social differences has captured the essence of an emerging culture in Southeast Asia - harmony amidst diversity.
PPAS is the first non-profit performing arts institution registered with the Ministry of Education to teach dance and theatre in the English and Chinese language.
