Western Sydney University says its new partnership with Actors Centre Australia will help revitalise performing arts education in western Sydney.
The partnership will see Western Sydney University (WSU) and Actors Centre Australia (ACA) collaborate to cultivate a new generation of performing artists equipped with both foundational knowledge and practical skills.
“This partnership reflects the University’s commitment to enrich the cultural fabric of western Sydney and to provide students with exceptional education and career pathways,” said Western Sydney University Vice-Chancellor and President, Distinguished Professor George Williams
“In collaboration with ACA we can provide an unparalleled educational environment attuned to industry needs.”
Initiatives under the partnership would enable students to learn in an innovative and inclusive model, having access to state-of-the-art facilities such as the University’s advanced theatre, recording studios and media labs.
“As an alumnus of WSU’s Theatre Nepean in the early 90s, I’m thrilled to build on ACA’s 37-year legacy of producing world-class acting talent, including its patron Hugh Jackman, alongside Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Rose Byrne, Naomi Watts, Colin Farrell, and hundreds of others who have thrived within ACA’s creative culture,” said ACA Chairman, David Chiem.
“This partnership with WSU will bring the highest global standards of arts education from western Sydney to the world.”
