Student

Sylvia, USA - BA (Hons) Acting (Musical Theatre)

“I chose Musical Theatre because theatre has been part of my whole life. I truly believe there is a musical for everyone, and I believe there is a Stephen Sondheim quote for every situation or moment in life. I love every aspect that goes into making a musical and I want to be part of that in any way that I can be. I chose LIPA to help me achieve this because I felt when I first walked into the building that this was a place for artists and creators. LIPA encourages students to explore every aspect of their creative abilities. I also felt that England in general was the best place for me to achieve my goals because of their love for theatre.

When I first applied and got accepted to the BA (Hons) Acting (Musical Theatre) course at LIPA, I hoped that when I graduated that I would have a better understanding of how to intermingle all three elements of Musical Theatre. While I felt I could hold my own in two of those areas, I knew I needed to work in the third. While being at LIPA I feel like I have grown in that aspect already and that helped solidify that I made the right choice.

A typical day at LIPA is filled with training and applying everything you have been given. You will explore methods and theories that go into your art, as well as learning about how the world around you will have an impact on your art form, and how you make art. You’ll have days where you work with people from other courses, you’ll have full rehearsal days, and sometimes you’ll have days where you feel a little unsure about your journey. Just remember, you’re not alone and you were selected for a reason!” 

Student

Horia, Romania - BA (Hons) Acting (Screen & Digital)

“I’ve always followed my instinct and my instinct told me to choose LIPA. The more time I spend here, the more I realise that this is where I fit in. Create, Create, Create – I think that’s the most valuable part of being here. It’s constantly challenging my creativity, and it’s the most fulfilling feeling to see your creation come to life.”

Student

Anna, USA - MA Music Industry Management

I was looking for a postgraduate program that would enable me to bridge my academic background and my professional experience – and LIPA has been the perfect place to do that – everything from the small class-sizes, the opportunities for networking and project involvement and the positive and collaborative nature and collaborative environment here. My favourite part is how easy it is to get involved with all sorts of projects and collaborate with other students from different disciplines, both in LIPA and in the broader Liverpool music scene as well.”
