Outstanding Performing Arts Training.

Here at PQA Portsmouth, we aim to take each student on a journey together to explore the exciting world of performing arts. Our teachers are industry professionals who deliver a range of unique classes, offering children a safe and welcoming space in which they are encouraged to learn important life skills, make friends and build self-belief.  

As well as the many opportunities available at PQA in terms of honing performance skills, we also encourage our students to learn about the performing arts industry as a whole. It offers many unique opportunities when it comes to building creativity and confidence in young people.

We’re passionate about what we do and will help and guide your child whatever their interests are, be they in Musical Theatre, Comedy & Drama or Film & TV, so that they feel equally excited and can learn something new each week, from camera skills to feeling comfortable with themselves on the stage or screen.

Zia Wheeldon

A warm welcome to PQA Portsmouth! Since the age of seven I have been involved in the performing arts and over the last forty years I have been fortunate enough to create a successful career as performer, director and teacher. I furthered my training to gain qualifications at Lamda (London Academy of Performing Arts), also continuing my studies for my Licentiate teachers diploma and completing masterclasses in acting for stage and screen with Mark McGann.
