Mr Fraser Corfield, a theatre/media graduate of Charles Sturt University (CSU) has been appointed artistic director of the Australian Theatre for Young People (ATYP) in Sydney. The appointment was welcomed by Mr Jerry Boland, course coordinator in theatre media with the CSU School of Communication at Bathurst, who said Mr Corfield was incredibly accomplished. "Fraser has been a quiet achiever since he left Bathurst in 1993; writing plays, working with youth in Queensland, and picking up multiple awards along the way,” Mr Boland said. “His appointment at the ATYP is only the latest evidence of the high regard that his peers have for his track record of leadership and innovation in youth performing arts. He has also been appointed to the Theatre Board of the Australia Council, the nation's peak arts policy and funding body, recognition that he is an insightful and accomplished practitioner who has much to offer the highest councils of arts practice and policy development in Australia."
