Who was Jackie Fielding?
Jackie was an accomplished actress and
a critically-acclaimed director, she was also renowned for her unwavering
support, advocacy and development for emerging artists in the North East.
Tragically, in 2015, Jackie died suddenly, during her acclaimed
production The
Man and the Donkey.
Why a Fund?
Donations from far and wide accumulated
at Jackie's funeral and family and friends insisted the money went to support
others pursuing a career within the performing arts. In subsequent years,
Jackie’s friends have produced fundraising shows and the Fund has awarded a
total of £3000 to students since it began.
Who is it for?
Jackie studied drama at Manchester
University before attending the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in
London. Jackie was able to do this with the help of state funding, without
which she wouldn't have had the means to pursue. Jackie’s fund aims to
contribute towards fees for training and continued development for actors,
directors and musical-theatre students.
