wo Marrickville locals are among 29 people from NSW and Norfolk Island awarded 2012 Churchill Fellowships. The Churchill Fellowship recipients will undertake a diverse range of research projects that aim to enrich knowledge and practice across fields in Australia as diverse as health, education, the environment, the arts and music. “Every one of the recipients has demonstrated dedication and a thirst for knowledge in their respective fields of expertise,” Paul Tys, CEO of The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust, said. “We can be certain that these 29 people from NSW and Norfolk Island will make a tangible diff erence to the lives of every Australian in one way or another in the years to come.” The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust was established after the death of Sir Winston Churchill in 1965 in accordance with Mr Churchill’s fi nal wishes. The Trust has funded more than 3,700 Fellowships for Australians. With an average value of more than $20,000 per Fellowship, recipients have the opportunity to travel overseas to further their passion and return to Australia to implement their fi ndings and share them with others. Fellowship recipient and Marrickville resident, Matthew
E Ed gert ge rton o will on wii ll l b foll llow ow w in ingg in Mr Edgerton, bee fo following Churchill’s own words, offering up his own blood, toil, tears and sweat to shape the use of theatre as a tool for social development. Mr Edgerton will use his Fellowship prize to travel to the United Kingdom and Vanuatu to gain practical experience from international companies using theatre to address social issues. “I’m planning to spend six weeks overseas working with theatre for development companies,” Mr Edgerton said. “In London I’ll be spending time with a company called Cardboard Citizens, who work with homeless people and PAN Intercultural Arts, who deal with refugee programs, the United Nations and Arts Against Violence programs.” Mr Edgerton said his three years experience working as a ‘resident artist in education’ at the Bell Shakespeare theatre company helped prepare him for the Fellowship. “I’ve worked in a range of remote communities, with the homeless and in juvenile justice centres exposing people to theatre,” he said. Another Marrickville Fellowship recipient is Alicia Talbot, who will travel to Italy, Croatia and the UK researching alternative modes of dramaturgical development and performance to enrich theatre making in an Australian context. The 2012 Fellowships this year are valued at more than $2.2 million.
