| Since 1986 Jill Greenhalgh has been the Artistic Director of The Magdalena Project (International Network of Women in Contemporary Theatre) an organisation which she founded in order to bring greater focus to THE under represented area of original work by independent women theatre makers. The success of the Project resulted in 10 years of continuous revenue funding from the Arts Council in Wales and a significant presence in many countries outside the UK. As director of the Magdalena Project Jill Greenhalgh has produced a wide spectrum of international theatre projects allowing her a unique perspective on the diversity of contemporary practice and the privilege of collaborating with hundreds of independent theatre makers from many different cultural and political contexts. Her work has also allowed her to travel extensively throughout the world and she has a particular and lasting attachment to theatre in both Latin America. DELETE AND NEW ZEALAND. The Project has always acknowledged the importance of pedagogical work with regard to the support of the emergent generation of young theatre makers. In recent years, Jill Greenhalgh has become interested in expanding her personal involvement in teaching in the belief that she has accumulated a body of knowledge of methods of both the creation of original works and strategies for artistic survival which I feel should be passed on.
