The Kristian Fredrikson Scholarship For Design In The Performing Arts has been created as an on-going memorial to one of Australia’s most distinguished performing arts designers, the late Kristian Fredrikson, who died on 10 November 2005, after a 40 year career which encompassed ballet, opera, contemporary dance, theatre, exhibitions, film and television.

The scholarship, which was launched in 2008, will provide $12,000 biennially to assist an Australian designer or maker to study overseas, to further enhance their career. Successful applicants, who must have completed five professional productions or have demonstrated a proven record of professional activity over at least 3 years, will be chosen on the basis of a demonstrable history of outstanding achievements and commitment to their profession; originality, creativity, technical and interpretative skills and the viability of their study plan.
