We are excited to officially announce that iStage Academy has teamed up with Dulwich International School as the exclusive theatre partner for the 2025 MADD Festival, which will be held at Dulwich Suzhou from April 24th to 26th, 2025.

The theme of the 2025 Dulwich MADD Festival will be “Time,” inviting students to explore various eras – whether it’s the past, the future, or parallel timelines – through their imagination and creativity. Our iStage tutors will guide the Dulwich students on an extraordinary journey through time. The original play, tailor-made for the participants of the MADD festival, will explore the theme “time travel”.

Since 2016, iStage Academy has been focusing on providing high quality Performing Arts education, to nurture talent and creativity amongst our students. Besides recreational courses, iStage Academy offers professional courses, to provide a pathway for young individuals who aspire a career in the Performing Arts. iStage Academy is the first and only institution in Asia certified by PEARSON to offer the BTEC Musical Theatre program, providing an internationally recognised vocational diploma in musical theatre.

This collaboration with Dulwich is another recognition of iStage Academy’s expertise in performing arts education. Both parties will work together to create an unforgettable “Time Travel” experience at this year’s festival. They are also looking forward to future collaborations, jointly promoting the development of performing arts education.
