One of Australia’s leading acting teachers, Kevin Jackson, has died after a long illness.
Jackson, whose decades-long career saw him working as an actor, director and theatre critic as well as being one of the most illustrious teachers at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), died last week, on Wednesday 18 January.
Having cut his teeth as an actor in the late 1960s in productions such as The Winslow Boy and The Importance of Being Earnest at the Genesian Theatre, Jackson went on to study acting at NIDA, graduating in 1971.
