FREEDOMAt Portsmouth Abbey, creativity knows no bounds and imagination is set free. We celebrate the freedom of expression and encourage our student-artists to explore their passions without limitations. Whether it’s painting, acting, dancing or playing the violin, our diverse range of artistic programs provides a canvas for students to show their creativity and discover their own unique voice. True artistic expression flourishes in an environment of openness and acceptance, where students are free to take risks, make mistakes and learn from each other. Through a combination of individual exploration and guided, expert instruction, our students develop the confidence to push boundaries and innovate in their chosen art forms. collaborationCollaboration lies at the heart of Abbey Arts. Students come together to create, inspire and elevate one another’s creative visions. Our community of artists, musicians, actors and dancers thrives on the synergy that emerges from working collectively to bring art to life. Through theatrical productions (two plays and one musical per academic year), concerts, visual exhibitions and dance performances, our students have numerous opportunities to collaborate across disciplines and perspectives, learning the value of teamwork, communication and compromise. Through a culture of collaboration, we enrich each student’s artistic endeavors and create a vibrant, expressive community where every voice is heard. |
