PLAY PRODUCTION

 

NIDA is unique in that the students in the Acting, Design, Production, Costume, Properties and Scenery Construction courses train together through the practical production of plays.

Learning theatre-making under professional conditions is our prime principle.

Productions are directed by skilled staff and invited professionals and every aspect of the productions are interpreted and created by the students themselves - from sometimes elaborate costumes to a special prop or video.  Our production values are amongst the highest and in every aspect proclaim the skills of our students and staff who work closely together in a creative and supportive environment.

NIDA productions are primarily concerned with the pursuit of artistic excellence. They are NIDA's most important teaching activity and follow professional procedures, in particular, careful pre-planning. Plays are chosen with regard to the educational needs of the course, the company of actors, the needs of design, production, and production crafts students, as well as workshop facilities and public interest. NIDA productions are a microcosm of the industry, with every element of the production from lighting and sound to set construction and costumes being produced by our students.

Applicants and the general public are welcome and encouraged to attend NIDA productions. Play Season details including specific dates and performance information are featured on our website under  WhatsOn
