Get Jordan and Shaun to The Directors' Program

Hi, we're Jordan Dickson and Shaun Swain, two theatre practitioners based in Dunedin. You've probably seen some of our recent work including Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense, Persona, QUEEN and the Fortune Family Season.

We have both been accepted into the inaugural Directors' Program - New Zealand's only directing training program. With an artistic board featuring some of New Zealand's most respected practitioners, including Sarah Wiseman, Jennifer Ward-Lealand and Michael Hurst, this is an incredible opportunity to learn from the best in the business.

But, there's a catch. Because of the practical nature of the course, we're unable to access any support via Studylink and need to front course fees, totalling $11,000 each by the end of January. We're working and saving hard to get to Auckland but we need a little help.

Your donation will be going directly to paying those course fees and getting ourselves to Auckland.

We're blown away that the only two positions have been offered to two Dunedinites, not only is this incredible for our careers, but it’s an amazing opportunity to brings these skills back to the south to enrich the community that has given us so much.
