“ Winning the scholarship is the next level up on my creative and digital filmmaking journey . I am pleased to return to a theatrical environment after a long time out teaching and nurturing others . I realise that traditional theatre has made a leap into a digital world too , and I hope to be part of this transition .” - Jeanette
