MOVEMENT DIRECTOR  – we need to talk….

Just Jones & is a theatre company touring nationally with our base in South East London. Our shows are built with, by and for our audiences which makes them powerful, immediate, universal, poetic, a bit bonkers, very ambitious, totally collaborative. We create interactive shows about the questions that won’t leave us alone – the big stuff of the 21st century. In playful, provocative ways, we ask our audiences to help us make the show from idea to performance. We’re not experts on climate change, social justice or how to run the world.

Writing in coalition as we are is proving quite a challenge.  We’re very much enjoying bending our heads round how our brains have so much in common but arrive at our … Continue reading April 2016 Artist in the Happy City – writing time

Origins of A Happy City

We started talking about this show in 2010/11 and inbetween we have worked on many other projects and many crazy things of extreme cruelty and extreme generosity have occurred around the world. 

The project has evolved several times and since its start, one of us has had two children, one of us stood as a political candidate  and one of us has designed a timber oak ceiling which will outlive us all. Continue reading Origins of A Happy City
