About Jessica Innes

I am a multi-disciplinary artist based in Edinburgh. My body of work includes productions for audiences of all ages, which use text, puppetry, aerial dance, physical theatre. I devise and create inter-disciplinary theatre productions, working predominantly as a performer but also have experience backstage in roles as stage manager and dramaturg. 

I love telling stories. I love making audiences laugh, feel empathy for a fictional character, and giving them a story that allows them to escape from the real world for a moment. The work I am most interested in is based around societal themes and issues. I like to use the performance arts as a way to entertain, explore issues that are difficult to talk about, and inspire conversations that promote empathy and a more inclusive way of thinking. 

I believe that the arts should be made available to everyone, regardless of socio-economic background. My practice is consistently evolving as I develop my storytelling methods, learning contemporary and traditional performance techniques, and educating myself on eco-friendly materials in puppet making.
