Sha’ashua Performance Lab, Contact Theatre, Manchester
“I found Jessica’s workshop a breath of fresh air, as it helped me to move through a lot of issues that have previously blocked my self-esteem and creativity. Jessica’s personality and style of teaching allowed me and the other students to feel comfortable and to open ourselves - to express and move through emotions in order to discover our true potential. This happened in two-day workshop which I find quite incredible. This kind of workshop is a very valuable gift to all creative people, there really should be more of this happening!” (Michael Hoy, performer)


Sha’ashua Performance Lab, Hope Street, Liverpool
“This has quite possibly been one of the most meaningful and wonderful experiences I have participated in, inspiring me both personally and professionally. It has given me great insight into aspects of my self and motivated my creativity again. Let’s hope there is much more to come of Jessica and her innovative labs at Hope Street - it has been journey that I feel all artists should attend. It has been a real feast!” (Sheryl Clowes, performer & facilitator)


Gorton Arts Festival, Manchester
  “Jessica, thank you so much for working with us! We’ve come a long way! We’ll
   miss you. More work like this needs to be done in primary schools. Children learn such essential skills by playing!”


SPLASH, Liverpool
“What an extraordinary project. Writing, performance, video,
photography and giant banners all in one package.
It’s brilliant how it’s all come together.”
