Case study: Millennium Performing Arts Theatre School (MPA)
Woolwich Millennium Arts Performing Theatre School graduate Sam Wilmott, a graduate from the Millennium Performing Arts Theatre School (MPA), has already performed in the West End show 'Lord of the Rings' and is currently starring in 'Wicked'. He and his brother Josh, a 3rd year MPA student, currently live near Woolwich and benefitted from MPA's decision to relocate to Woolwich last September. Many of the MPA students have also benefitted from good transport links to Woolwich, not only because of the new DLR station, but also the newly-improved riverbus services to Woolwich Arsenal pier from central London.
For those MPA students who decided to relocate to Woolwich, there is a vast range of affordable accommodation on offer, with some students sharing flats on the new Royal Arsenal development. The centre of Woolwich offers easy access to a wide range of shops, eateries and other facilities. The physical improvements, including the redesign of the two main squares, together with the dance school's programme of local community involvement, will greatly improve the opportunities on offer for Woolwich residents too.
