ProviderNational Institute Of Dramatic Art NidaCourse overview
NIDA's Master of Fine Arts (Directing) assists highly talented early career practitioners to master the directing process through education and training in the components of production, the interpretation of text and the communication techniques required to engage with the contemporary audience. The course places strong emphasis on the collaborative role of the director in the theatrical process and challenges students to create and express their own vision in the context of international performance practice. This course provides students with the opportunity to analyse the theoretical underpinnings of the director's craft and combine knowledge, skills and techniques across many platforms of performance, including theatre and film. Students produce a short play or film in a public season, undertake a research project and participate in an international field trip.
