Who was Jackie Fielding?
Jackie was
an accomplished actress and a critically-acclaimed director, she was also
renown for her unwavering support, advocacy and development for emerging
artists in the North East. Tragically, in 2015, Jackie died suddenly, during
her acclaimed production The Man and the Donkey.
Why a Fund?
£4000 was
accumulated via donations at her funeral and it was then that Jackie’s family
and friends insisted the money went to support others to follow their talents
and the Jackie Fielding Fund was created. In subsequent years, Jackie’s friends
have produced fundraising shows and Fund has awarded a total of £2000 to
students since it began.
Who is it for?
Jackie
studied drama at Manchester University before attending the Webber Douglas
Academy of Dramatic Art in London. Jackie was able to do this with the help of
state funding, without which, her family, like many today, would not have had
the means to pay for. Jackie’s fund aims to contribute towards fees for
training and continued development for actors, directors and musical theatre
students.
A maximum award of £1000 is attributed annually in July. The closing date for applications is
15th of July 2018
