Having worked with CPAC as a performer for many years, I’ve been exposed to training and opportunities in the areas of Acting, Singing and Dancing at a level I’ve not experienced in other production houses in Malaysia.
CPAC musicals are the best in the country and based on my personal experience, they are as close as one can get to London’s West End musicals.
Performing in a CPAC Musical includes hands-on training. This is not limited to learning how to perform lines or choreography- there’s a huge focus on intention & background, in order to tell a story in the most authentic manner.
