História
Jazz is a gender fluid artist, based on the edge of the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire. She works mainly onstage, and her recent credits range from Shakespeare (Cassius in Julius Caesar at the Roman Verulamium), to Ibsen (Nora Helmer in Schoolhouse Productions' critically acclaimed A Doll's House), to Lecoq clowning (Sherlock Holmes in The Accidental Adventures of Sherlock Holmes). Jazz identifies a trans* gender fluid actor, and uses female (her) or neutral (they) pronouns. Jazz is an established pantomime principle boy / girl, and has worked numerous pantos both static and touring. She is a strong alto, with musical theatre credits ranging from Rouse Ye Women to Fat Shirley's Trailer Park Opera. She also plays basic descant recorder and guitar.
When not at work, Jazz is a volunteer with her local food bank and police service, having served each for nearly five years. As well as the benefit of helping people in need, and giving back to the community, these keep her ear to the ground and help her stay on top of current events and hidden stories. This side of her life brings an edge and grit to her performances, and gives her a drive for larger social change. While working abroad in Germany, she volunteers with the local café for the homeless.
