Our Services
Other than providing venue and educational services for the performing arts, klpac also provides corporate services.It is a common misperception that arts training is only for artists.
Today’s business world prizes innovation, creativity and adaptability – qualities necessary to thrive in a highly competitive and ever-changing environment.
Industry pioneers Dato’ Faridah Merican and Joe Hasham OAM have been specialising in arts-based corporate training for almost three decades, serving clients ranging from those in the telecommunications industry to advertising and other service sectors. In 2005 The Actors Studio Academy @ klpac adopted the methods set by co-founders Joe and Faridah.
While the actual programme can be customised according to group size, duration and objective, some of our training modules include:
- Team building
- Presentation and body language skills
- Change management
- Creativity and thinking out of the box
Some of the reasons our clients have engaged us over conventional trainers is because arts-based training helps to:
- Break down the silo effect of corporations
Develop trust and rapport - Shift perceptions, attitudes and mindsets
- Facilitate conversations about workplace problems and challenges
