Northland Youth Theatre Alumni Jasmin Fisher Johnson is our newest NYT tutor.
Jasmin was bought up in a world of drama with both parents successful actors, so it's fair to say theatre is in her blood. After nearly 10 years performing for NYT, Jasmin is now stepping into the role of tutor, passing on her skills and knowledge around theatre to our youngest performers. |

LIZ SUGRUE
DRAMA TUTOR
|
Liz grew up in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the South Island and went to a primary school with roughly 40 children. Lucky for her, a teacher realised some fleeting potential and began taking her to theatre productions in Christchurch from the age of 8. Her first fulltime job was with Whakarite Theatre Company, where she got to tour New Zealand for four years. She then went overseas, cavorted around, jumped out of a helicopter in the middle of the Outback, and then returned to tour with a band. She then completed a degree in Theatre and Film at Canterbury University, while also performing in many productions and forming her own company.
She has taught drama in Christchurch, Wellington, and now Northland. She has been in a number of productions over the years, including Petruchio in an all-female production of The Taming of the Shrew. In Northland, she has been in Pack of Girls, and Mums Choir. She is also a keen musician. She writes her own songs and sings in a duo, and is part of Opera North. |
