An original one woman show inspired by the life and legacy of record breaking pilot, Amy Johnson
Jenny Lockyer
I do all sorts of creative things!
My work is a mixture of performing, writing, making, comedy, playing, planning, designing, painting... throughout my work there is a thread of performance and storytelling.
I gained a degree in Theatre practice from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in 2002 and have been working professionally in the arts ever since. I've worked with various theatre companies on original productions and I have produced a series of productions and community events myself.
I have about 20 years of experience in working with children through my roles as theatre practitioner, play leader, teaching assistant and arts facilitator in schools, children's centres and play schemes. I love to play and sing, dance, tell stories, play guitar, make things and enjoy using puppets in my work too.
I manage my own arts projects for all ages alongside working on commissions.
Commissions include murals, illustration, songwriting, productions, recordings, and designing and running all sorts of creative sessions.
CURRENT PRODUCTIONS....
In 2016 I was funded by Croydonites Festival of New Theatre to write and perform a one woman stage play inspired by record breaking pilot, Amy Johnson. This is one of the best things I have ever done. I'm working towards a national tour with an accompanying workshops programme.
For ages 14+ the play is available to book to visit theatres, schools and colleges.
GRANNY PEARL- A MAGICAL TALE OF THE SEA!
A brand new children's show inspired by one of my songs. Especially suitable for babies and very young children. This show is available to book to visit theatres and early years settings.
CURRENT regular work includes Story Time and Music Time sessions for babies .
