NIDA school holiday summer program enrolments open

NIDA Open offers high quality courses for young people.

NIDA Melbourne is excited to partner with two new spaces in the creative precincts of Melbourne for a range of summer courses for children and young people.

Transit Dance in Brunswick and The Space in Prahran will offer a wide variety of inspiring creative programs for the holidays, reaching new audiences in Melbourne’s north and south eastern suburbs. Both new venues are purpose built creative arts spaces in the centre of the vibrant Chapel Street and Sydney Road precincts and are perfect environments for NIDA students to learn and grow.

The National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) is a centre of excellence in theatre, film and television, with short and part-time courses with practice driven training in a supportive and nurturing environment.

These new venue partnerships provide opportunities for NIDA Open to connect with more children of Melbourne by providing space to extend their creative skills set, make new friends, find new areas of confidence, and step into a magical world of imagination.

“NIDA Open is excited to be again offering high quality courses for children and young people, especially in great new locations to reach more of the Melbourne community,” said Gillian Meisner-Lemon, Director, Public Programs NIDA.

There are a variety of courses for Grades Prep to Year 12 at both new venues, including Stage and Screen School for Grades 3-6 and 7-10, Acting 101 for Grades 11-12 and NIDA Ninjas for Grades Prep-2. Students can learn skills in drama and screen acting, create characters, improve confidence and social skills, and above all have fun with new friends.

Enrolments are now open for the NIDA Open Summer Program across the two new venues in Brunswick and Prahran, as well as courses at NIDA Melbourne Studios in Southbank and Abbotsford Convent. Book four weeks before the course start date for children and young people to receive a 10 per cent early bird discount.
