JACK
MIGUEL
We were happy to welcome Jack Miguel for a weeks residency in April 2017 where he used his time with us to write and develop his project ‘The Turning of the Leaves’, a beautiful 21st century expression of the challenges facing men today amidst inherited narratives of power, violence and invulnerability.
