2021 is drawing to a close, and so is the NAISDA online auditions window, but not until Monday 15 November. The new closing date for online auditions has been extended by two weeks so it’s not too late to apply.

2021 has been challenging, especially for our young people. With so much uncertainty it can be difficult to plan for the future.

Communities, families and schools are encouraged to help support young people considering a career in dance and the performing arts, by having a yarn about the possibilities that auditioning for NAISDA can offer. Completing an online audition application before 15 November is the first step in creating options for next year.

Now is the time to make sure 2022 is full of opportunity. It might be hard at the moment for young people to think about how or where they will be living their lives next year, but auditioning now for NAISDA could be the start of an exciting future.

Audition applications and information at naisda.com.au/audition-for-naisda/.

Applications close Monday 15 November 2021. 

Students are encouraged to reach out to NAISDA for a yarn by emailing auditions@naisda.com.au or calling (toll free) 1800 117 116.
