Developing young performers through musical theatre
NOVA connects young performers in China with musical theatre training and opportunities to learn from practitioners working in the UK industry.
From introductory lessons to international programmes, we help young performers build their vocal and performance skills, confidence and creative independence.

Our name reflects the potential we see in every young performer.
NOVA is a musical theatre education company connecting young performers in China with musical theatre training and learning experiences in the UK.
Our programmes bring together singing, acting, movement and performance in English, helping students develop the skills to tell stories confidently on stage.
Our goal is not simply to teach young people how to sing or act.
We want them to understand characters, communicate meaning and discover their own way of expressing themselves.
Professional training provides the tools; personal growth is at the heart of what we do.
