'Star Ignited Performance Academy' (SIPA) are based in Littlehampton Town Centre. We are in existence to provide young people in the Littlehampton area with opportunities for growth and personal development through the performing arts.
We have been providing performing arts services as well as one-to-one instrument/voice lessons for over ten years in the local area and we showcase our students’ talents in our two main shows each year at the Windmill Theatre. We also perform smaller “review” style performances at local charity events throughout the year and at local care homes where the residents enjoy the happy and vibrant performances of our students.
We offer classes for all ages, from babies to pensioners. We aim to keep our prices affordable and offer reduced rates to families who are struggling financially. It is my belief that training in the arts shouldn’t only be available to the privileged.
We have many young and teenage students who suffer anxiety and struggle in so many areas of their lives, it is an honour to be told that SIPA is their ‘safe’ place and to hear from their parents and teachers how much we help them grow in confidence and give them something to really look forward to each week.
It is also our absolute delight to have many of our older students become helpers in classes for the younger ones, and even come on to staff. They have come up through the school so know our ethos, passing on our unique method of teaching which is primarily to nurture, encourage, include and 'ignite the star' in each student.
