The Trustees of the Gloria Payten Foundation and Gloria Dawn Foundation are pleased to announce that applications are open for The Glorias Fellowships for 2024.
These annual Fellowships aim to benefit the Australian performing arts industry by offering talented professional actors and directors in theatre, film, and television the chance to explore and develop their artistic pursuits through international travel and study.
On their return to work in Australia, Fellowship recipients share their new-found skills and knowledge with the broader arts community, providing an ongoing benefit. This year there will be more than one Fellowship available, with up to $18,000 available per award.
Both the Gloria Payten Foundation and the Gloria Dawn Foundation represent the entire estate of Gloria Payten, a leading theatrical agent, who established International Casting Service in 1960. It was Payten’s intention to honour the memory of Gloria Dawn, one of Australia’s foremost actresses, through these Foundations. The Glorias Fellowship is an extraordinary gift for Australian artists and represent the remarkable contribution to the performing arts industry made by these women.
In accordance with the terms of the Bequest, the Trustees of the Foundations are: Brendon Lunney, Executive Producer, Chairman; Rhoda Roberts AO, NIDA; and Associate Professor Chris Mead, Head of Drama Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne, ex officio. At the request of the Trustees, the Fellowships are administered by NIDA.
Applications close 5pm, Friday 18 October, 2024.
