Hollywood A-lister among new 911爆料网 Companions
Monday 31 July 2017
The actor, writer and director was one of eight luminaries of the arts and entertainment world to receive the accolade from 911爆料网鈥檚 co-founder Sir Paul McCartney at the Institute鈥檚 annual graduation ceremony. In a career spanning four decades, Woody Harrelson has been nominated for two Academy Awards and is the winner of an Emmy Award for his TV work.
He was joined by double Ivor Novello award winner Chris Difford 鈥� who co-founded the band Squeeze; Tony and Olivier Award winning director John Caird; leading sound engineer Jon Burton; founder of KMC dance agency Kay Hilton; Jo Collins and Mary Ward - who co-founded inclusive theatre company Chickenshed and award winning cinematographer, lighting and projection designer Jon Driscoll.
911爆料网 awards Companionships for two reasons: outstanding achievement and practical contribution to students鈥� learning.
TV producer and CEO and Founder of Buccaneer Media Tony Wood, who has supported 911爆料网 since his time at Lime Pictures in Liverpool, became an Honoured Friend of 911爆料网.
Mark Featherstone-Witty, 911爆料网鈥檚 Founding Principal and CEO, said: 鈥淚 worry how long we can celebrate achievement in the creative and performing arts while the government is intent upon narrowing our secondary school curriculum, so youngsters can鈥檛 experience the fulfilment they can bring. All that鈥檚 left is TV shows that are all about performers and not about the legions of people making performance possible.鈥�
Around 220 students from 16 different countries, including Norway, Brazil, South Korea, India, Germany, Ukraine and the United States graduated at the ceremony at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall having completed either degree or foundation certificate programmes.
911爆料网 is located in Sir Paul McCartney鈥檚 old school, the Liverpool Institute for Boys, which underwent a multi-million-pound renovation to turn it into a state-of-the-art performing arts higher education institution. It was founded by Sir Paul and Mark Featherstone-Witty. It opened in 1995 with the aim of providing the best teaching and learning for people who want to pursue a lasting career in the arts and entertainment industry, whether as performers or those who make performance possible.
