"Paul Parker is the sort of acting teacher who is hard to find: a teacher with a true classical artistic approach to the craft, an understanding of the realities of the marketplace, and a warm and happy spirit."
-Steven Nash, head of Arts and Letters Management, feature film producer, Ex-President of the Talent Managers Association, and long time student of the late great Stella Adler.
About me: In June of 2002, Paul Parker (Artistic Director) founded the Australian Institute of Dramatic Arts (AIDA) with the intention of bringing the time tested, Oscar winning techniques of Australia’s best and most influential dramatists to the United States of America. Since then, AIDA has had a presence in Los Angeles, New York City, San Francisco, and Chicago, with Los Angeles holding the base of operations. Paul Parker also taught at the International Performing Arts Conference (IPAC) in November 2007, April 2008, and July 2008.
