Naturally a lot of us are feeling the dreariness of returning to work right now. The old 9 to 5 can diminish your spirit somewhat when you should be off nurturing your personal skills and desires. Enter, the NIDA Open short courses for adults. An opportunity to start building pathways to your performance and screen dreams with an accessible time slot that takes your daily dirge into account. Find the right course for you and you're one step closer to walking the red carpet, dazzling the stage or writing the next blockbuster.
NIDA Open has released a suite of courses covering a diverse range of arts interests. Any adult over the age of 18 can enrol and each course is lead by an expert NIDA teaching artist. Over eight weeks you could be diving in to acting technique intensives or finding your feet as a stage producer or director. If the digital landscape is more your vibe, you could try a documentary filmmaking course, learn how to write for the screen or find your best angle with a screen acting course. There's also a whole course for budding stand-up comedians to perfect the craft of conjuring LOLs and a specialised vocal technique class called 'The Confident Voice', that quite frankly, everyone could use at one point in their lives. NIDA Open also holds courses for adults with intellectual disabilities wanting to explore their performer potentials.
No matter what you choose, these short courses are bound to enrich your creativity and confidence. They're easy to squeeze into your busy schedule and conveniently located at either the NIDA campus in Kensington or The University of Notre Dame in Broadway, Chippendale.
