About
Jack Britton (He/Him)
Born and raised in the Midlands, Jack hails from a world of Brass bands, rugby, Robin Hood, caves, castles and crisps. His Theatremaking practice will occasionally possess him like a relentless ghost trying to tell unique, yet relatable, stories in weird and wonderful ways.
He’s performed work at a variety of venues and festivals including Vault Festival, Camden People's Theatre and Pleasance and Summerhall’s Edinburgh Fringe Programmes.
Jack’s practice focuses on autobiography and documentary, using personal experiences as a window he explores broader topics of nostalgia, curiosity and perspective.
His three performance projects to date include; '1.9' a show that chronicles his personal history with Parkour, ‘I Used to Hear Footsteps’; a devised piece of documentary theatre about his haunted childhood home and ‘MIGHTY’, a performance that uses a combination of live looping, spoken word and comedy to ask the audience ‘should we be taking heightism more seriously?’.
He’s also been practicing parkour for a collective ten years or so, and is a key member of London’s Supa XXL parkour community.
Jack is a member of the London Neofuturists, Degenerate Fox and has plenty of experience performing/collaborating/facilitating with a broad range of artists, organisations and people.
He’s been an Associate artist with In Good Company, Pleasance, Attenborough Arts Centre Leicester and Curve.
