NIDA

The National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) was founded in 1958 and it has held true to its vision and mission to be the "world's most wanted storytellers" and to "unlock the power of the performing arts across stage, screen, future media, and beyond". It has a unique teaching style, well thought-out curriculum, and an unrivalled range and depth of professional training in the field of performing arts.

For many years, UWCSEA East Drama has partnered together with NIDA for their Overseas Theatre Trips where East Drama students, from both Middle School and High School, are able to interact with and learn from industry professionals cum educators from NIDA to broaden their knowledge in the world of performing arts as well as to take away relevant skills and concepts that would help them in their future endeavours in drama.
