Games are an intrinsic part of our nature, and it is through games where we are ultimately able to let down our guard, spark our imagination, and reveal our true faces.
Why pigeon-hole human nature? Why force young children to develop in an encoded model? Why can’t we allow children their own space during their growing up period?

Co-founder of PPAS

Practice Performing Arts School (PPAS) was founded in 1965 by choreographer/dancer Goh Lay Kuan and the late dramatist Kuo Pao Kun, both Cultural Medallion recipients.  

It opened with the belief that arts education is an integral part of the total development of an individual. Through arts training, PPAS students are taught to take on life, not just examinations. Arts training will not only teach our young new creative skills, knowledge and techniques, but more importantly, develop interpretive capacity, build confidence, stir imagination, foster self-discipline, and offer useful entry points to a vast cultural heritage.  

PPAS is the first non-profit performing arts institution registered with the Ministry of Education to teach dance and theatre in the English and Chinese language.
