STAGES SPOTLIGHT: CONVERSATIONS REVISITED - KEVIN JACKSON from June 28th, 2018

With over 230 episodes in the STAGES archive, it's time to revisit conversations featured in previous seasons. STAGES spotlights such episodes, in case you missed them first time 'round - or so you can simply savour a second listen. Either way, you'll be accessing precious oral histories from the people who were there, on and around our stages. Kevin Jackson is widely known to be one of Australia's most effective acting teachers. Completing extensive periods with the old NIDA Acting course and the American Conservatory Theatre course in San Francisco, his knowledge and passion for the craft of acting has no comparison. He's guided many of Australia's best and noted actors, with insights and an approach which is direct, firm and fosters discovery. In recent years his passion has extended to the development of an online blog that reviews live performance - The KJ Theatre Diary. These detailed appraisals not only provide us with an assessment of production and performance, but a considered history of the play and extensive reflection on the creatives - from the original work and subsequent productions. To read a KJ review provides one with the intelligence of his reaction, a record of the cultural landscape and a greater appreciation of this most hypnotic craft.
