Performing Arts Careers

This sector is not always about performing in front of an audience, there are some great opportunities for those who have creative practical skills who are key to staging entertainment events, such as stagehands, lighting technicians, arts administrators and community artists.

However, if you do enjoy expressing your creative personality, such as dancing, drama, or singing, or playing a musical instrument then a career in the performing arts industry is for you.
