Jordan Cortazzo
 |
|
Jordan has been a passionate film-maker from a very young age. Originally studying at the University of Adelaide, it wasn’t long before
Jordan decided to leave his conventional degree in Media and audition for Flinders Drama Centre. Drama Centre gave Jordan the opportunity to
pursue a career, and harness his own ability as a film-maker. Over the four years he has spent training as an actor, Jordan has started his own
collaborative team of film-makers where he has written/directed/produced four short films (Goodbye 35, Tuff Nutts, Xanax and Gazelle),
all of which are to be released in 2015 and entered into numerous festivals. Though his ideas are expressed in film, he possesses a fiery passion
for theatre. He has been fortunate to act in a number of shows whilst at Drama Centre including; Metamorphoses (Directed by Tom Healey),
Trojan Barbie (Directed by Rosalba Clemente), The Three Sisters (Directed by David Mealor), and a devised collaboration with Nescha
Jelk and Playwright Phillip Kavanagh called Deluge. In 2014 Jordan played the role of Thomas Arden in his graduating show Arden V Arden
(Directed by Tom Healey). 2015 is going to be an exciting start to Jordan’s career, as he is undertaking a written mentorship with acclaimed playwright
Caleb Lewis. |

Alex Woollatt
|
|
It’s 2007. Alex is in Tech class bored as anyone could possibly be. Knowing he needed to change, he transferred to Drama, where a passion erupted
and has evolved ever since. His time at the Drama Centre has given him a great opportunity to train and nurture that passion and gain invaluable
experience. He has been able to play a variety of different roles in plays such as Metamorphoses (directed by Tom Healey), Trojan Barbie (directed by
Rosalba Clemente), Three Sisters (directed by David Mealor) and Arden vs Arden (directed by Tom Healey). Another highlight was his role in a film written
by fellow classmate Jordan Cortazzo, Gazelle. Alex also has a great interest in Shakespeare, after seeing some amazing performances in both London and
New York. He has a strong desire to develop this further in the future. With his fellow Fourth Year students, Alex has been involved in the creative
development of Deluge, a new work written by Phillip Kavanagh and directed by Nescha Jelk, hopefully to be performed in the near future. |
