SGCNZ Activities

Shakespeaere's Globe International Artistic Fellowship

For this programme, two mid-career actors are selected in each of five countries around the world, to train together at Shakespeare's Globe in London. This highly sought after opportunity results in a public performance at the Globe and much benefit being returned to the Fellows' country.
