NIDA, oh yes ..

The National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) is an Australian educational institution for the performing arts based in Sydney, New South Wales. Founded in 1958, it 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. In 2024, NIDA was named as #13 in the "World's 25 Best Drama Schools" by The Hollywood Reporter.[1]

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. Its performance venues include the Parade Theatre (also the name of an earlier venue in NIDA's history); the Space; the Studio Theatre; and the Playhouse, while the Rodney Seaborn Library forms part of its library and the Reg Grundy Studio is a training and production facility for film and television. Many of Australia's leading actors and directors trained at NIDA, including Cate Blanchett, Toni Collette, Sarah Snook, Mel Gibson, Judy Davis and Baz Luhrmann.

History

NIDA was founded in 1958 as the first professional theatre training school in Australia. The idea of a national theatre training school was initiated by the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust (AETT) in 1954.[2] With the support of the Vice-Chancellor (later Sir) Philip Baxter,[citation needed] NIDA was established in the grounds of the University of New South Wales.[2] Robert Quentin, later Professor of Drama at UNSW, was appointed the inaugural Director.[3]

Teaching began in 1959 and in 1960, the first 23 students graduated with a Diploma in Acting. After 1961 it offered both acting and production streams, and in the early 1970s design, technical production and directing streams were introduced.

NIDA ran the Old Tote Theatre Company until 1969,... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Institute_of_Dramatic_Art

Saw some at the Old Tote, knew it pretty well late '60s early 7s.

Now, lol, how about this intro

NIDA acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which we learn
and tell stories, the Bidjigal, Gadigal, Dharawal and Dharug peoples, and we pay our
respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present.

Super warm feeling. Genuine humility, too.

It's a top video to pass on to Aussie friends, and others .. haha.

Here's a birthday gift for ya mate. 'Those Aussies take the work seriously, they don't particularly take themselves seriously.'
(At the very end.) Characteristic of the TA moderators and the best posters here, IMO.
