The Shahid Nasheer Memorial Fellowship at Checkpoint Theatre
In 2025, Checkpoint Theatre launched the Shahid Nasheer Memorial Fellowship: a yearlong, paid residency and traineeship programme to support one early-career theatremaker looking to elevate their skills and hone their artistic vision.
This Fellowship is created in memory of Checkpoint Theatre’s collaborator and friend Shahid Nasheer (1996–2024), who believed strongly in the importance of holistic development as theatremakers, and in uplifting fellow artists.
The inaugural Shahid Nasheer Memorial Fellow for 2025–2026 is Krys Yuan.
The Shahid Nasheer Memorial Fellowship is supported by generous donations from Shahid’s family and friends, and from other donors.
