Anyone who wishes to pay respects to John Clark AM is welcomed to join us to celebrate the life of NIDA’s Director for 35 years and one of the most significant figures in the history of this institution.
John’s vision, leadership and unwavering belief in the value of training and storytelling helped shape NIDA into the world-renowned institution it is today. From modest beginnings to a leading global drama school, his legacy is embedded in our campus, our teaching and the generations of artists and practitioners who have come through NIDA.
