India Jaye
Theatre Director
Theatre Deviser
Theatre Practitioner / Facilitator
Performer / Actor
I am a playful theatre-maker who likes to create in a collaborative manor. I aim to unpack the nuances within the human experience through different art forms to encourage empathy and vulnerability within our society.
I'm a confident deviser working with text, physical theatre, verbatim and puppetry. I have recently found interest in stepping out of the performance space and pursuing my curiosity for directing. As a recent graduate, I would like to gain experience through your assistant directing programmes here at TYV. I have a great eye for detail and believe in letting performers discover things organically in the space through collaborative facilitation.
Most importantly, I believe in creating visually engaging theatre which is accessible for all by using my working class, female and queer roots to spearhead this vision.
My preferred pronouns are she/her - but I'm happy to be referred to with any pronouns!
