Rockhampton's performing arts students have been dancing and acting alongside established professional actors and dancers during May.

This week's visitors have included music theatre performer Katie Kermond and actor Catherine Moore. Last week's visitor was dancer and actor Dale Pengelly and next week's visitors will be Transient Theatre co-founder Tony Kishawi and the Queensland Conservatorium's Irene Bartlett.

BPA coordinator Dr Emma Killion said the industry mentor involvement was a crucial way to ensure students get the latest insights and also networks within the entertainment industry.

"Our visiting experts are always active in professional shows and thus have a wealth of current knowledge to convey," she said.
