Centre for Performing Arts

The Centre for the Performing Arts (CPA) was established in 1978 on the site of the old Adelaide Girls High School, adjacent to the Adelaide Central Market.

Set up by Dr Barry Young, it initially offered courses in dance and technical production. An acting course was introduced in 1987, headed by David Kendall. In 1997 an introductory acting course was established, called Prologue.

North Adelaide School of Arts

The North Adelaide School of Arts (NASA) was established in 1979 on a site vacated the previous year by the South Australian School of Art. (The latter moved to a campus in Underdale.)

NASA was dedicated to practical studio-based studies in visual art, providing training in studio areas, such as photography and electronic imaging, ceramics, sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, jewellery and textiles.
