New International Performing Arts Institute
The Place Where Professional Creative Leaders Rise
NIPAI is a private educational institute established in 2000 with the mission of exploring and bringing to life new, innovative, and professional forms of contemporary performance-making. It was founded on the Knowledge Applicability Concept, emphasizing that all acquired knowledge should be applied directly to the performance-making process. This approach integrates best practices, allowing performance makers and actors to achieve more valuable results in less time than traditional theoretical study, making it more efficient than most other directing or acting schools worldwide.
NIPAI offers specialized educational programs that equip current and future directors, movement directors, acting coaches, choreographers, arts managers, and creative leaders with the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve success in their careers and positively impact the modern performing arts industry
Our programs are specifically designed for artists and creative individuals who have completed full-time training but realize they are not fully prepared to compete for work opportunities in the industry.
The New International Performing Arts Institute teaches specific skills in directing, teaching, and managing that are practical and should be applied in everyday professional work.
The NIPAI Learning Concept:
Hands-On, Student-Centered Education in Performing Arts
At NIPAI, we believe that effective learning is only achieved when individual requirements and diverse learning styles are recognized and addressed.
For over 20 years, NIPAI has been a leader in preparing professionals for the global performing arts industry with a strong emphasis on hands-on, practice-oriented education. Our approach places project work and group collaboration at the core of the learning experience, ensuring that students apply theoretical knowledge in real-world situations.
By integrating theory with practical application, NIPAI equips students with the skills and confidence needed to excel in the competitive world of performing arts. Whether you're looking to start a career in the industry or enhance your existing talents, our programs are designed to help you achieve your goals and succeed on an international stage.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is learning by doing. From day one, students begin creating their own original works of art. In every course offered by NIPAI, students receive hands-on, immersive education from our prestigious faculty through a combination of in-class sessions, distance learning, workshops, and student-led projects.
Mission
NIPAI's mission is to deliver the highest level of excellence in performing arts, performance creation, and directing. We aim to provide a professional education to a diverse, international student body, helping them hone their skills as future professionals. Our goal is for students to successfully apply their experiences in everyday work and emerge as leaders in their respective fields.
Why Choose NIPAI's Learning Approach?
You can continue learning from home or wherever is convenient for you. We're developing a safer, more modern blended learning concept. If you miss a class or don’t understand something, you can easily review the material.
Our new "in-class sessions" will ensure a better transition from theory to practice. These regular sessions will feature workshops, masterclasses, project reviews, and interdisciplinary projects in smaller groups. Intensive daily sessions with faculty will optimally prepare you for practical exercises and projects.
The curriculum is now more modern, flexible, and better aligned with NIPAI's philosophy, focusing on community, campus life, your projects, portfolio, practical experience, and career opportunities.
We wish you the best of luck and success!
