Registration is now open for NSDF26.

NSDF is a festival for young theatre makers aged 16-25. Make valuable industry connections, with a week filled of workshops, panels, networking and mentoring, with opportunities to be selected for awards and bursaries.

This year’s theme, NOW NEXT invites you to immerse yourself in the present moment - to reflect on the world around us: its realities, challenges, politics, and possibilities.

Together, we’ll imagine the future of theatre: what do we want it to become? What risks will we take, what new forms will we create, and how can technology and experimentation shape what comes next?

NSDF champions emerging talent, provides space for bold ideas, sparks forward-thinking conversations, and keeps theatre connected to the world we live in - and the one we’re building. Register through the link to secure your place at NSDF26!
