Major Venues.  Non-Competitive Performances.   Experiences of a Lifetime...

The American Alliance of Performing Arts Educators (AAPAE) provides major performance opportunities for pre-professional performing arts talent to appear in supportive, noncompetitive and major venues. By combining the resources of talented and qualified performing groups, AAPAE is able to access venues of world stature for groups of moderate means. These performance opportunities often include Master Classes with major professionals who are currently active in their fields.

AAPAE addresses the situations common to all performing arts educators, whether they are independent or affiliated with an institution. AAPAE strives to educate performing groups on how to self-fund the opportunities presented to them, allowing individual performing groups to become viable, independent businesses, whether profit or nonprofit. The formula of strengthening ones performing group by appearing in a major venue is one that works.

Often a group’s website or phone message starts off with “appeared at Lincoln Center and the Sydney 2000 Olympics.”  Performances in major venues strengthen the commitment of performers and build a strong foundation for lifelong support of the performing arts. We believe that performing and the enjoying of others performing is its own reward for being a performing artist.  As “amateurs” in the original sense of the word, “to love” , we perform for the sheer enjoyment of it.
