Online auditions this year provide a unique opportunity for any young artist to be able to apply. ‘Our goal is for NIDA graduates to be representative of the diversity of contemporary Australia. We want NIDA to be a place where every person feels supported and safe to bring their whole self, to tell stories, and so be a courageous and creative voice for the nation,’ said NIDA CEO Liz Hughes.
Scholarship opportunities for students include the YouTube Scholarship, recently announced here and several others available for budding actors here.
The auditions offer actors the possibility of joining the ranks of NIDA’s recent award-winning Acting alumni, including recent graduates Sarah Snook (Succession), Miranda Tapsell (Top End Wedding), Hugh Sheridan (Packed to the Rafters), Yael Stone (Orange is the New Black), Rob Collins (Cleverman), Remy Hii (Spider-Man: Far From Home), Ryan Corr (Holding the Man), Meyne Wyatt (City of Gold) and Suzie Miller (Prima Facie).
Billed alongside Juilliard and Yale as one of the world’s top drama schools, NIDA has built its reputation on practice-based industry-relevant training. Renowned for its acting degree, NIDA also trains creative collaborators including costume, set, video or lighting designers, stage managers, costume makers, scenic artists and set builders, who enjoy highly successful careers nationally and internationally, with many receiving job offers before they even graduate.
