| Jack is an Auckland-based multidisciplinary artist with a rich background in musical theatre. He studied Science at the University of Auckland, earning a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Psychology. His passion for acting developed from his fascination with the mind-body connection. Jack’s professional experience includes performances in Showbiz’s Kinky Boots the Musical as well as roles in several community theatre productions in Auckland, including Wicked, Grease, and Priscilla: Queen of the Desert. He has trained screen acting at Hunter Acting Studio, and continues to expand his expertise in musical theatre. Jack has completed Estill Voice Training Levels 1 & 2, holds a Level 1 Singing Athlete coach certification, and regularly attends dance classes to further hone his craft. He also musically directed Legally Blonde Jr. for Stage Antics. Outside of the performing arts, Jack enjoys spending his free time in nature, exercising both his body and mind, and facilitating sound baths. |
