OVERVIEW
The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) is one of the world's leading performing arts academies, delivering the most comprehensive range of performing arts training in Australia.
Our students develop their skills on-stage as an actor, dancer or musician, or behind the scenes in production, design or arts management.
WAAPA's Bachelor of Performing Arts is seeking experienced, inspirational lecturers to join the team at a pivotal moment for WAAPA at Edith Cowan University.
WAAPA will move into its brand-new world-class city campus in Yagan Square in the Perth CBD in 2026 as part of an exciting expansion plan.
This is unequivocally the most exciting time of all to join the university as it embarks on this further growth and transformational journey.
THE ROLES
WAAPA is looking to appoint 2 part time lecturers in the Bachelor of Performing Arts.
Position 1:
Actor training and/or Vocal Training
Position 2:
Devised, site specific or physical performance
Please note that both positions require a capacity to teach both studio-based practice and contextual theory and history related to that practice such as history of Australian Theatre, and the history and theory of theatre and performance.
WAAPA's Bachelor of Performing Arts is an incubator for future cultural leaders and artists who are passionate about telling stories and driving change in the global performing arts landscape.
Students build the foundational skills necessary for a contemporary career in independent and commercial performance making, and the field of performance making as social practice.
As part of the Performance Making major, students start with intensive training in voice and movement studies, before advancing to original, self-devised and collaborative approaches to creating, producing, and presenting independent contemporary performance projects.
Students explore contemporary and progressive approaches to performance making as social practice, investigating the role of performance in social transformation through its intersections with power, politics, sex, gender, disability, and the institution.
Students test this knowledge through the facilitation of a range of applied performance projects in partnership with industry and the community.
