Acting
Both Feet (Meisner) · Barbara Houseman · Alex Pepperman (Meisner) · Mischief Theatre (Improv) · Sean Turner (dir. The Play That Goes Wrong) · Derek Bond (Olivier Award winner) · ALBA Technique (Patricia Angelin)
An actor-singer who sets stages on fire. Sometimes literally.
Jon trained at National Youth Theatre, NYMT, AADA, and Frantic Assembly: a bari-tenor with a Meisner foundation and a physical-theatre edge, he is equally at home in new musicals, new writing, and devised work, and regularly finds himself on both sides of the Atlantic.
Offstage he is a software engineer, certified pyrotechnician, and co-producer of the 4x Offie-nominated Dumbledore Is So Gay, with a special-skills list that runs from aerial silks to flying aircraft. If a role needs something unusual, he has probably trained for it.
