After 30 years at WAAPA, writer, director and teacher Chris Edmund has announced his retirement.
Edmund started at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Art (WAAPA) in 1983, initially part-time. He has been teaching full-time since 1988, and the Head of Acting for the last 12 years.
‘When I first came here in 1983 to direct, it was the very first year; the very first intake. It was a really fledgling organisation then; no-one really knew about WAAPA, this strange place in Western Australia, and now in 2013, it’s acknowledged as a world-renowned training institution both nationally and internationally,’ Edmund said.
