Retirement: Diana Belshaw, Faculty, Theatre Arts - Performance

Last month, faculty and staff in the School of Creative and Performing Arts said goodbye to our invaluable colleague Diana Belshaw, who retired at the end of term. Diana was the program co-ordinator of Theatre Arts - Performance for 12 years starting in August 2000, and the head of acting until the end December 2016. During her tenure as co-ordinator, she transformed Humber Theatre into a leading centre for training in devised and physical theatre, and founded the Acting for Film and Television program. Her vision and unlimited energy will be missed by us all, but especially by her students. If you would like to make a gift in honour of Diana’s retirement and her dedication to student actors, please click here. The funds raised will be used to establish the Diana Belshaw Theatre Creator Award, which will be presented to second-year students who show vision and commitment in creating original work addressing the challenges of the contemporary world. Please join us in wishing Diana every happiness during this next phase of her career. Thank you, Diana, for all you’ve done for Humber Theatre and the College!
