One of Australia’s leading acting teachers, Kevin Jackson, has died after a long illness.
He then worked as an actor and director with the Old Tote Theatre Company (1973-1974) before helping Q Theatre (The Q) settle in Penrith with Doreen Warburton and a group of friends.
‘On his 70th a group of friends arranged a literal busload of friends, colleagues and lovers to travel through the streets of the eastern suburbs in a “this is your life” site specific activation. There was the stop outside his alma mater, ex-lovers from the US flown over for motorbike rides and ice-creams, a stop outside the Randwick Ritz, all ending at NIDA before the Bearded Tit showed rare footage of Kevin’s performance for the Mr Drummer [competition].
