Marie Performing Arts Academy - the future of Nigeria's Performing Arts Industry

Marie Performing Arts Academy has invites all children and teens to its 2016 summer Performing Arts Camp taking place in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria from the 24th of July, to 8th of August, 2016. It will be two great weeks of intriguing arts display, arts uncovering, acquisitioning and talent development lead by the prolific and renowned performing arts genius, Marie Idara Bassey. 

Marie Performing Arts Academy has great history in nurturing and providing talents that have emerged atop of major performing arts competitions in Nigeria and beyond.

With over 10 students emerging as winners, finalists and semi-finalists in various performing arts competitions all over the country, the academy prides itself as the one stop shop for the holistic development of children from the age of 5 and teenagers up to 20 yrs old in music, acting, visual art, dance, creative writing and art critiquing.

The successes of this academy are too many too mention. But this had not always been the case. Marie Bassey had humble beginnings and like every little girl, she dreamed of becoming a princess wearing a tiara and dancing ballet. But in true Nigerian fashion, these were dismissed as ‘just dreams’ by her friends and some of her family. Her loving mother, however, saw possibilities of these dreams. When Marie was 9 years old, her mother entrusted her training to Miss Vanessia Thompson (A dance instructor from Jamaica) and after years of enjoyable, rigorous and mind boggling training sessions, Marie graduated to becoming a dancer, choreographer and a trainer.

All this rehearsal and training didn’t deter Marie from going to school. In fact, she excelled in all things academic. 

For the records, Marie Performing Arts Academy produced the winner of CGMI’s got talent 10years old Joanna Mshelia in 2011 and In 2013 Marie produced seven finalists and the eventual winner (Amarachi Uyanne) of Airtel’s Nigeria’s got talent. She also produced the winner of the 2014 edition (Robots for Christ). She continued from there to motivating and training other young stars like Emmanuel Osahor at GCGT 2016 and the award winning duo, Jesse Umoh and Oghomwen Edosomwan.

However, just like Marie’s mother did back then, you too could take advantage of this summer Performing Arts Camp to help develop that extra ability, skill and passion in your children and teens and make the best outta their holiday for their immediate future.

The performance camp will hold in a suitable and secure environment and would provide the options of camping or attending from home for attendees. For nine hours daily in two weeks, participants will go through rigorous fun and learning activities, leadership and entrepreneurial education classes, arts and crafts alongside the main performing arts curriculum.
