Damien Ryan, the Artistic Director of Sport for Jove, outlines his company’s 2024 educational program.
Hail all NSW teachers, we herald and congratulate you for another outstanding year of leadership and inspiration – in your classrooms, at your marking centres, with your preparations, your results and through your guidance.
We are proud to partner with you in your students’ relationships with the creative arts and offer an array of goodies for 2024. Sport for Jove’s work is built on passion, rigour, attention to detail and is specifically designed to marry with the work you are doing in the classroom, supporting discussion, and provoking thought in equal measure.
Two of the mainstage productions completed this year were near sell outs. Our blockbuster runs across May.
Romeo & Juliet: SFJ's new and furiously energetic production takes on the spirit of a filthy Italian opera, driven by love and heat, fights and fevers of the mind, and, of course, by Shakespeare’s soaring poetry.

Sport for Jove also offer other extra-curricular events, such as their highly popular HSC Performance Symposiums, this year offering King Henry IV, Part 1, Richard III, The Tempest, Merchant of Venice, The Crucible and Othello.
A whole library of Digital Symposiums is also available for regional or inaccessible schools.
Youth Workshops, led by Sport for Jove staff members and industry professionals, give access to world-class theatre training.
The Shakespeare Residency, is a week-long, in-school Shakespeare program, while The Shakespeare Carnival, a state-wide performance competition for students, is now entering its 8th season! Teachers are also offered detailed Student Resource Kits for all works in the season.

For more than a decade, SFJ’s Education Program has been where teachers turn to so their students can experience rich and engaging productions, deepening their understanding and relationship to the text.
