We are Parents and Carers in Performing Arts (PiPA)

Creating a performing arts industry where care and career can thrive together – so the performing arts truly reflects the richness of those who shape it.

We partner with performing arts employers to build inclusive, care-friendly workplaces. We empower parents and carers to stay creative, connected, and in their careers while caring.

Both individuals are wearing dark clothing, and one has short, reddish-brown hair while the other has dark, curly hair. Their arms are wrapped around each other, creating a sense of closeness and support.
