In a world that increasingly values creativity and outside-the-box thinking, the performing arts emerge as a powerful medium for nurturing essential skills in children. Beyond fostering creativity, they also enhance the ability to work across different media. Through drama, dance, music, and theatre, young minds are encouraged to explore new realms of imagination, collaborate dynamically with their peers, and confidently express themselves.
The Auckland Performing Arts Centre (TAPAC) stands out as a notable children’s activity provider, making significant strides in the realm of performing arts education. In this spotlight, we explore how TAPAC’s enriching classes foster creativity in children while also examining how Enrolmy's streamlined software has been quietly working its magic to support TAPAC’s success.
The Role of TAPAC in Nurturing Future Talents
The Auckland Performing Arts Centre (TAPAC) is nestled in the heart of Western Springs. It has been a beacon for performing arts education for over 20 years. TAPAC was born out of the community’s desire for a dedicated space for artistic expression. It has since evolved into an enriching environment where both children and adults can explore various forms of artistic expression. From circus acts to speech and drama, dance, and musical theatre, TAPAC offers diverse classes catering to various interests and skill levels.
Since its inception in 2003, TAPAC has thrived due to a successful partnership between the community, the council, and Western Springs College. This collaboration allows TAPAC to run more than fifty-term classes each week, coinciding with school terms. Additionally, TAPAC offers workshops, professional development sessions, and holiday programmes for kids. Their commitment to fostering creativity and inclusivity sets them apart, as they strive to provide an accessible educational space for people of all ages to enjoy the performing arts.
However, managing a range of activity enrolments and bookings and ensuring smooth communication with participants is no small feat. This is where Enrolmy stepped in, having implemented a feature upgrade that transformed how TAPAC handles enrolments and communicates with its customers.
Looking ahead, TAPAC aims to expand its facilities and continue offering diverse, innovative classes. By keeping their curriculum fresh and fun, they aspire to enrich the lives of even more children. They aim to provide a safe, educational, and enjoyable space for everyone to engage in the performing arts.
How Enrolmy helped TAPAC overcome their communication hurdles
Enrolmy introduced a feature that allows activity providers to email customers directly from the main activity page. This enhancement has been particularly beneficial for TAPAC, enabling them to select an unlimited number of recipients for their communications. Whether it's updates about class schedules or announcements of new workshops, TAPAC's education coordinator, says it is now really quick to communicate with their customers.
Beyond improving direct communication with customers, Enrolmy has streamlined how TAPAC manages enrolment information. According to their coordinator, the transition from a ticketing-based software system to Enrolmy’s purpose-built enrolment platform has been transformative. This change has made the entire process of enrolments, bookings, management, and customer interaction smoother and more efficient than ever before.
