Jack Britton

He/Him

Born and raised in the Midlands, Jack Britton hails from a world of Brass bands, rugby, Robin Hood, caves, castles and crisps. His Theatremaking practice will occasionally possess him like a relentless ghost trying to tell unique, yet relatable, stories in weird and wonderful ways. 

He’s performed work at a variety of venues and festivals including Vault Festival, Camden People's Theatre and Pleasance and Summerhall’s Edinburgh Fringe Programmes. 

Jack’s practice focuses on autobiography and documentary, using personal experiences as a window he explores broader topics of nostalgia, curiosity and perspective.

His three performance projects to date include; '1.9' a show that chronicles his personal history with Parkour, ‘I Used to Hear Footsteps’; a devised piece of documentary theatre about his haunted childhood home and ‘MIGHTY’, a performance that uses a combination of live looping, spoken word and comedy to ask the audience ‘should we be taking heightism more seriously?’.

He’s also been practicing parkour for a collective ten years or so, and is a key member of London’s Supa XXL parkour community. 

Jack’s been an Associate artist with In Good Company, Pleasance, Attenborough Arts Centre Leicester and Curve.
