Jaya Twill

Actor Director Artist

Originally from Texas, Jaya moved to London in 2019 to study theatre and performance at Wimbledon College of Arts. Through this she discovered a love for devising and directing as well as acting. Her work explores sex, desire and consumption with a focus on the effect of pop culture and the internet on a new generation. Her work uses experimental staging while investigating digital dramaturgy to find new modes of storytelling.
