Our Creative Artists Programme directly supports Australian actors, directors, designers and other members of our creative teams. It includes our Director in Residence, actors in our touring productions, actors who deliver our Learning programmes, and the writers and other artists who collaborate with us to develop our Mind’s Eye initiatives.
Our Director in Residence this year is John Kachoyan. John holds an MA from the Central School of Speech & Drama in London, and also trained at the National Institute of Dramatic Art, Sydney and the University of Toronto. His theatre work has taken him to the UK and Canada, as well as Australia.
The Creative Artists Programme provides a unique opportunity for an emerging theatre director like John to work for a year with the highly experienced creative and production staff at Bell Shakespeare. John will be working as Assistant Director on Macbeth and The School For Wives.
In 2012, the Creative Artists Programme is dedicated to the memory of the late James McLachlan, who was a generous supporter of the initiative.
If you would like to help us continue to provide opportunities for Australian artists, please contact our Philanthropy Manager, Ruth Anders on 02 8298 9017 or email rutha@bellshakespeare.com.au to hear more about it.
