WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN A TOUR OF THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN ACADEMY
OF PERFORMING ARTS (WAAPA)
The Friends of the Academy hope to conduct “behind the scenes” tours of the Academy later in 2026 when WAAPA has had a chance to settle into the new environment in the city.
The Tours are popular with groups and individuals and are limited to 20 people. We are pleased to offer you an experience at some of the Departments mentioned. Your well-informed Guide will take you both backstage and on stage; may show you through Props and Scenery, Lighting or Costume workshops; visit a Music Theatre or Dance class as well as Aboriginal Performance. At this stage the format of the tours is under discussion.
A complimentary morning tea is included, and there will be a Q&A with a WAAPA representative, providing you with an opportunity to ask any questions that you may have.
Purchase a light lunch at an eatery on campus or nearby, or bring your own, then enjoy a complimentary lunchtime concert that will complete your Tour. Open to Members of the Friends of the Academy and also to non-Members.
The dates of the Tours will be advised in due course, but are unlikely to commence until the second half of the year.
