Welcome to Mad About Development

We are beyond excited to launch Mad About Development, a new training initiative located on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Queensland.

Mad About Development will offer full time, professional training for the Musical Theatre industry, with the first intake of students in 2025. We are delighted to provide government recognised qualifications in partnership with Empowerdance Pty Ltd RTO 40397 to provide high quality professional training.

We are thrilled in 2026 to announce the introduction of our School Based stream, as well as the expansion of our Tertiary program. Students of our courses will have the opportunity to learn from Industry Professionals through workshops, masterclasses and / or industry placements, as well as having more than 3 performance opportunities throughout their courses, with which to put their training into practice!
