"To say that I have a varied performance CV is not wrong - and I am exceptionally proud of all of the projects and people I have been involved with professionally from day one. Each of these shows are very dear to me and this portfolio of work shows a definate progression through different styles, influences and subjects that were near to my heart at the time - and for the majority of them - still are!"
     


Jon Harris trained in ‘fine’ and ‘performance’ art at Brighton University and Essex University and has performed around the UK

Taking inspiration from the culture(s) around him, his own experience and the views and actions of others, Jon weaves together stories and images that are as unforgiving as they are funny and emotive - constantly turning himself and subjects towards a different definition and an unknown, new understanding. He has also run performance workshops all over the UK.

He has also performed in established theatre roles as part of The Adult Theatre Workshop whilst working in the UK.

Jon Harris has dual-residency in the UK and Australia.
