About this programme

NIDA's Bachelor of Fine Arts (Acting) equips students with the specific knowledge and skills to pursue careers as actors across the breadth of today's arts and entertainment industries - in main stage and smaller independent theatre companies, film, television and commercial arenas. An emphasis on collaborative and self-directed work throughout the course prepares students to engage with a wide range of communities and to initiate their own creative opportunities. Through practice-based learning, students develop technical skills in acting, voice, movement and music, acting for camera, microphone technique and screen-related skills. Students participate in classroom exercises, in-depth scenework, rehearsals and full-scale productions as they explore their individual talents and find their personal artistic voice.
