Jess Cummings
Theatre director Acting teacher Creative ArtistI'm a director, acting tutor and theatre maker. I love to work physically to make bold and exciting discoveries about characters as I believe subtext and the physical choices actors make are the most interesting.
I pride myself on my sensitivity as a director and practitioner, and I believe there is a fine line between getting the best out
of artists and inhibiting them; freeing them and negatively affecting their confidence.
I enjoy creating theatre that makes your eyes open and your belly flutter!
