Isobel Jacob

Theatre Director Facilitator

My pronouns are she/her.

I create and facilitate work with young people and their communities, having just finished working in a school for a year and looking to engage further in community arts spaces. I aspire to create theatre that is urgent, radical, and holds accessibility, inclusivity and community at its core.

I get excited about working on plays which interrogate form, integrating movement with language and text, and the creation of new, non-traditional work.
