Celebrated UK Theatre Director, Stuart Nash, has set sail in scarcely explored waters. After living in East Africa for a while, he saw a lack of opportunity for students and adults to be able to develop a talent in acting, dancing or singing. Thus the Nairobi Performing Arts Studio was born bringing these 3 disciplines under one roof for the first time in Kenya.
