stories that unite

NIDA alum Kylie Heart (Cultural Leadership, 2023) is the visionary force behind Midnight Feast, NIDA’s resident company that champions inclusivity in the arts. Her journey from a theatre-loving child to achieving her Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Cultural Leadership at NIDA has been remarkable, and the driving force that propelled her career forward as the Founder and Artistic Director of Midnight Feast.

At Midnight Feast, we believe in the power of community. Our professional training is about honing skills and fostering social connections within the NIDA community and the wider industry.

“The theatre is everywhere, from entertainment districts to the fringes, from the rituals of government to the ceremony of the courtroom, from the spectacle of the sporting arena to the theatres of war … Theatre and performance have been deployed as key metaphors and practices to rethink gender, economics, war, language, the fine arts, culture, and one’s sense of self.”
