Jon is a storyteller, actor and writer based in the West Midlands of the UK. Since graduating from the University of Wales in 2007, Jon has been storytelling professionally for over a decade, developing broad experience in stage and screen performance, as well as establishing himself as a gifted singer and multi- instrumentalist. Jon specialises in taking classical stories, myths and legends, and injecting them with modern-day sensibilities, energy and tone, whilst still maintaining their roots and honouring their legacies.
Jon is an experienced writer, having published numerous works, including A Long Road Home, Dreamkeepers, and Cinderella. His one-man production, The Forgotten Tales, received critical acclaim at venues and festivals across the UK.
In 2014, Jon established Parable Arts to explore the art of storytelling, bringing forgotten and half-remembered stories to life, and providing them with a platform on which to shine. In addition to Parable, Jon is an ECSPC qualified performance combat instructor and fight director, and runs his own stage combat company called Action Combat Choreography.
