Cambridge International Arts Festival
Cambridge International Arts Festival brought together 7 unique venues across the city of Cambridge and was due to have its premier in summer 2020.
In Autumn 2021 we delivered a reduced programme after restrictions eased off with a reduced programme, focussing on developing new talent and showcasing work that hadn't visited the city before.
Temper Theatre
I am a founding member of Temper Theatre and have played an important role in the companies 10 year history from their first Edinburgh Fringe show, TRIBE, in 2015 to a 7 city tour across China in 2024 with their latest production HOME.
Fusion Theatre Festival
Fusion Theatre Festival was a started by an initiative a Hills Road Sixth Form College which grew under the team I was a part of. We linked the school to our local arts centre Cambridge Junction and ran a series of workshops in local schools which culminated in a final performance that started the festival off. The rest of the festival was made of local artists from all disciplines we could possibly find. The first festival in 2015 had over 30 performances in one day and was entirely crowd funded. The next festival we applied for funding from Arts Councils Grants for the Arts Scheme (now NLPG) and year after the year the festival grew.
The last edition of the festival featured Schecter 2, Crybabies, Police Cops and a collective schools show written by a local artist about the water crisis in Cambridge and climate change.
Testimonies
Producing
Jack is a joy to work with. He's collaborative, positive and highly committed to his work. He joined Told by an Idiot as Assistant Producer and worked across our touring shows, workshops and even film projects. His brilliant "can-do" attitude made him a valued team member, and he will always be part of our extended Idiot family! - Jen Holton, Executive Director, Told by an Idiot
He is a good communicator and has always a pleasure to work with as he understands the creative process from both sides, having originally been a performer. He is a valuable asset to any project or company and I would not hesitate to recommend him. - Sarah Crompton-Howes, Executive Producer, Selladoor Worldwide
As a grant writer, Jack’s step by step approach is very approachable and well thought out, making the process of writing a new grant painless. - Eden Harbud, Director, Nod At The Fox
Jack has such a collaborative way of working where it really feels like he is entirely guided by you but does all the hardest work in distilling that into application format. I am very confident that the application we submitted was the best possible application we could have created. - Kirsty Rider, Actor and Writer
Jacks wealth of experience in the arts, producing and access support alongside his committed and collaborative nature makes him a pleasure to work with and an asset to any team. The support he has been able to offer me in the writing of my ACE application has been a game changing for me. I would highly recommend working with him. - Holly Delefortrie, Theatre Maker and Facilitator
Jack's commitment and insight has allowed the company to go from strength to strength, secure more funding and has most recently led to us securing a 3 year long residency at The Belgrade Theatre, Coventry as part of their Springboard programme. This would have been impossible without Jack's support.
- Jacob Whitehorn, Artistic Director, Dauntless Evolution
