Welcome

NDS Productions is a company dedicated to providing skills based training, professional development and live performances for cultural institutions, conservation organisations and cultural festivals. NDS Productions is recognised as a leader in the field of live  thematic and cultural interpretation using improvisation, theatre and interactive performance to engage audiences. We have over twenty years experience in  developing unique public programs and specialised performances. We believe that every tour, walk, talk, presentation, exhibition, public program or performance can inspire and engage an audience, create a personal connection and facilitate discussion.

NDS Productions are visitor experience specialists providing intelligent, engaging, interactive, live interpretation solutions for your organisation. We develop visitor experience exchanges from large-scale public programs (performances designed to extend an exhibition narrative) to small intimate interpretation tours. We can deliver an entire concept from start to finish or simply facilitate a creative workshop to help you devise a new performance or re-interpret and refresh existing public programs.

We offer specialist training:

  • Strengthen your teams current professional speaking and guiding skills.
  • Develop clear and strong narratives for your organisation or team.
  • Explore site-specific techniques for the delivery of live interpretation.
  • Professional skills based workshops to improve your visitor experience outcomes.

We are experts at integrating professional theatre skills into interpretation and communication training for tour guides, interpretation staff, education staff, volunteers, retail staff, hosts and all visitor support staff in your organisation.

We help transform public programs, presentations, education activities, tours and science demonstrations into engaging and meaningful experiences for both presenter and audience.

We offer group workshops/master classes or individual coaching for professional development.
