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

If you would like us to customise a training module for you, please drop us an email at [email protected] or [email protected] in a lush 35-acre park with ample parking and resplendent views, klpac is a magical space unlike any other.
