Welcome to St Anne’s, where the sea is the sky, the ceiling’s a boat, and only certain creatures know what lies just above the surface of the sky, in the realm above water.
Weaving together storytelling, singing and that feeling when you duck your head under water and suddenly everything becomes quiet, come and discover some tales from the sea.
Jess grew up along the North Devon coast, and much of her work is inspired by the sea and the tales of the people who live by (and maybe even in) it. She’s a Southwest based theatre maker, working primarily between North Devon and Bristol, and loves weaving together storytelling and music in her work.
Most recently Jess has worked with Theatre Workhouse, Burn the Curtain, and Creative Playhouse, alongside making her own work, to bring tales of seagrass, swan boats, and summer traditions to Devon.
