WELCOME

Welcome to NIDA for the 2023 June Production Season.

We are excited for you to experience some of the magic of NIDA and the extraordinary depth and breadth of skills from Australia’s next cohort of sought-after creative storytellers.

There is a strong richness and diversity of these creative productions which are a key collaboration opportunity for students across many disciplines with both each other and highly respected and successful industry leaders.

The four productions showcase the creative courage, ingenuity and the storytelling superpowers of NIDA students across acting, design, costume, technical theatre and stage management and props and objects. These students are the future imagineers of our screens, stages and the new realms of entertainment.

NIDA’s commitment to environment sustainability is also a continued focus this production season. The NIDA Green Sustainability Manager is working with the production teams and will aim to ensure that at least 50 per cent of production materials are sustainable: recycled, upcycled or made from sustainable materials.

As always, the staff at NIDA have worked tirelessly with the students to bring these productions to life which I am extremely grateful for. I would also like to thank our wonderful industry friends and collaborators whose input and experience provide enormous value to all of the NIDA students involved.

We wouldn’t be able to present this season of performances without the generous support from the Australian Government, as well as our corporate partners, trusts, foundations, supporters and donors. On behalf our NIDA Board, the NIDA Foundation Trust Board, staff and students – thank you.

Liz Hughes — NIDA CEO
