BOX SEAT | July 2007

Dear <~~First~~>,

If it’s your vision, don’t just dream about it. If it’s your passion, follow it.

Applications for study at NIDA in 2008 are now open. And remember, not everyone is successful on their first application – many apply more than once. For some insight and encouragement, Box Seat’s podcast this month features three first year students talking about their application process and their experience in first year at NIDA.

Also this month, while NIDA’s students take a two week holiday, (although many are spending their time preparing for next term’s productions), NIDA’s Open Program is busy, with youth courses commencing this week, in addition to a production of Love of the Nightingale, performed by Open Program students.

Finally, if you live in Sydney, why not get your bodies in line for a ticket to Bodyline 07 – it’s a popular component of NIDA’s Play Production Program; fresh, unpredictable, dynamic, physical theatre.
