Jacob is a Director, Theatre Maker and Movement Director from The Midlands who likes to create 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.

Jacob originally trained as an actor at East 15 on the Acting and Physical Theatre course where he developed experience and skills in movement, puppetry and devising, alongside a traditional actor training.

While training at East 15 Jacob co-founded Dauntless Evolution, a theatre company of which he is the Artistic Director. The company often creates devised physical theatre with Jacob directing all of their work to date.
