Dare Power
Dare has spent a lot of time considering cinema and the performing arts. At the University of Queensland in the early nineties, he spent almost as much time at the Schonell Theatre as he did attending classes. Graduating with Honours, Dare’s studies were heavily focused upon drama, media and, most significantly, popular cinema.
Later, Dare would undertake his Masters degree in Film and Television at the Gold Coast’s Bond University, a large part of which was an internship with Assistant Director teams working on television drama at the Warner Roadshow Studios. For a number of years, Dare worked as a freelancer on numerous film and television projects in varying crew roles in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sydney. His aim in this part of his career has always been to learn the varying roles and responsibilities in order to inform his career as a creative producer.
PowerArts represents an opportunity for Dare to put all of that learning and training into practice. He continues to develop his skills, and is currently working his way through an Executive MBA with the Australian Graduate School of Management. His passion for the growth and development of the Australian creative industries are also well attested to by his continuing involvement on the boards of Queensland’s screen industry development centre QPIX, and the Queensland Arts Council.
