Jay Durkin

As a designer and maker, I thrive on the dynamic nature of my work, seeking opportunities to expand and explore skills across various disciplines. My true passion lies in collaborative projects, where I can delve into areas such as puppetry, movement, and sensory experiences, which has been enriched by experiences with organisations such as Bamboozle and Red Earth Theatre. Their support and encouragement have affirmed my interest and place in devised interactive shows, especially for children and individuals with disabilities. Central to my approach is the creation of immersive atmospheres that evoke emotion and connection, fostering meaningful experiences for audiences, performers, and production teams alike. At the core of my practice is a commitment to inclusivity, ensuring that every stage of my work is accessible and welcoming to all. My aspiration is to play a pivotal role in crafting experiences that resonate with diverse audiences, especially those who are often overlooked.
