Biography

Jacob is a Director who creates bold, visually dynamic and ensemble led work that places interpersonal connections at its core. He aims to make theatre that feels like a spectacle, using his physical theatre background to craft and stage stories in an expressive and vibrant style.

Credits include: Hymns (The Wardrobe Theatre); Tiger Country (The Tobacco Factory – Assistant Director / Movement Director); Here and Now (Dauntless Evolution); ALTER (Dauntless Evolution); My Problems Make Me… (Dauntless Evolution).

One of my favourite parts about BOVTS is that it feels ‘homegrown’. From the set to the costume, lighting, acting and sound, every single aspect of a theatre production or film is down to the students. The location of Clifton is so serene and the School being so small everyone knows each other and it feels so personal and special. Violet Morris, BA Professional Acting Student
