ARTISTIC DIRECTION
Since 2015, Jérémie has become one of Galway’s most exciting physical performers, choreographers and movement directors in the independent theatre community. He is a trained physical theatremaker and actor, having followed the 3-year intensive conservatory programme of Acting for the Stage, at the Ottawa Theatre School, Canada. His training includes acting, movement, acrobatics, Lecoq, mask, mime, Chekhov, and Shakespeare, amongst other subjects.

He lectures Acting, Performance Lab, and Theatre Practicum at NUI Galway.
