While operating under safe COVID conditions for all our audiences, artists, and creatives, we welcome the opportunity to showcase the extraordinary talent of all our students. NIDA students have shown incredible resilience and commitment over the last few months and it will be terrific to see their work come to life working alongside leading Australian directors, designers and writers. After all the hard work that has been taking place during Sydney’s lockdown, this is a season we have all been waiting for.’NIDA Artistic Director David Berthold said: ’These four NIDA productions tell stories of worlds in flux. We invite the audiences to journey into a magical forest, a world without electricity, God’s own country, and a theatrical kaleidoscope through opera, myth, comedy, and invention. This is a season of colliding forces – stories that dissolve the past to reveal the future.’This season is supported by the Nick Enright AM Estate.
