NIDA meaning in Community ?

The National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) is Australia's leading centre for education and training in the performing arts. Founded in 1958, NIDA uses a conservatoire model, where students learn through practical experience, working on real productions. NIDA offers bachelor's, master's and vocational degrees in subjects including acting, writing, directing, scenic construction, technical theatre, voice, costume, props, production design and cultural leadership.

NIDA also delivers short courses to thousands of students every year across Australia as well as internationally. The NIDA Open program is Australia's largest non-profit, performing arts short course program.

In 2018, NIDA was ranked as the 10th best drama school in the world by The Hollywood Reporter and in the Top 5 Undergraduate Schools for an Acting Degree in 2019.

NIDA's main campus is based in the Sydney suburb of Kensington, located adjacent to the University of New South Wales (UNSW), and is made up of a range of rehearsal and performance venues.

NIDA receives funding from the Australian Government through the Department of Communications and the Arts, and is a member of the "Australian Roundtable for Arts Training Excellence (Arts8)", an initiative between the national performing arts training organisations and the Australian Government providing training for emerging artists.
