Theatre Mentors and Protégés
2008/2009 Mentor and Protégé
Kate Valk and Nahuel Perez Biscayart
For the first time under the Rolex Arts Initiative, two actors come together as mentor and protégé to focus on the craft of acting. The direction of their year of mentoring is up to them.
2006/2007 Mentor and Protégée
Julie Taymor and Selina Cartmell
An experience in Balinese theatre served as essential inspiration for each of these unconventional directors.
2004/2005 Mentor and Protégée
Sir Peter Hall and Lara Foot Newton
Sir Peter Hall assumed he was going to be working with a fellow director. He soon discovered that Lara Foot Newton was a talented playwright too.
2002/2003 Mentor and Protégé
Robert Wilson and Federico León
First I said to myself: ‘No.’ Then I thought that with him (Federico) I’d be taking the biggest risk. It’s exciting when you really don’t know yet what will develop.”
