As 2024 draws to a close, it’s a time to reflect on the remarkable achievements of our community throughout this year. Together, we have upheld the rich legacy of this institution while forging bold new paths in the performing arts.
This year we’ve been delighted by so much creativity and excellence. Our students have amazed us with their talent and resolution, bringing captivating stories to life on stage, screen, and behind-the-scenes. From ground-breaking productions that test the limits of technology to international collaborations with some of the world’s finest talent, their work is a boundless source of inspiration for our community.
NIDA alumni continue to thrive and make their mark with each new project, a testament to the passion that drives our graduates. We are proud to have played a role in their creative journeys and look forward to seeing their continued impact in the years to come.
Our dedicated staff and educators have shown unwavering dedication to nurturing the next generation of storytellers, artists, and visionaries. We’re lucky to have leading practitioners and artists teach at NIDA whose contribution to our industry is immeasurable, inspiring both students and staff alike.
Our generous donors, patrons, and industry partners have supported and empowered us to provide world-class training, push artistic boundaries and create truly one-of-a-kind opportunities for the next generation of Australian storytellers. This year NIDA was able to provide more students with scholarships than ever before with 22 Life-Changing Scholarships and over 70 additional scholarships awarded to students to the value of over $1 million. This support makes a profound difference to our community, and we are honoured by the trust and commitment you continue to show.
To anyone with a passion for storytelling, NIDA has a place for you. Across our training in NIDA Open for children, young people, and adults, or in NIDA Corporate developing essential soft skills in some of Australia’s leading businesses, or anyone with a dream of sharing their stories with the world – we can’t wait to welcome you.
As we prepare for the opportunities and challenges of 2025, we carry forward the momentum of this extraordinary year. Together, we will continue to pursue excellence and ensure that NIDA remains at the forefront of dramatic arts education in Australia.
From all of us at NIDA, we wish you a joyful holiday season filled with creativity and inspiration. Thank you for being part of our story and we look forward to seeing you again in 2025.
