Adrian started Upstage in 1999 with a simple principle at its core — to create an environment that would produce fully rounded young performers:

"I wanted the students to take part in all three disciplines i.e. acting, singing and dance so that when they perform on stage, they have what we call 'chops'-that's how actors are taught in England. And the skills learnt in the performing arts are so useful to young people whatever future career they choose."
