See How Creativity Grows
NIDA Open’s courses are the perfect way for children and young people to step into the world of performance, creativity and storytelling during school term and holidays. Designed for ages 5–18, our short courses cover everything from acting and improvisation to screen performance, musical theatre, design, and more. Whether your child is taking their very first steps on stage or looking to deepen their skills, our tutors create a supportive, fun and inspiring environment to learn, grow and connect with others.

From one-day workshops to week-long adventures, NIDA Open offers programs that build confidence, spark imagination, and give students practical tools they can use both on and off the stage. With courses held at NIDA Sydney and in locations across Australia, there’s something for every young storyteller.
