The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime

​​

Jayne directed Utah State University's production of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" with a strong commitment to accessibility and inclusion. The production featured relaxed performances designed to welcome neurodivergent audiences, with adjusted lighting and flexible policies that allowed patrons to move freely throughout the space. Live subtitles were integrated for all performances, serving both hearing-impaired patrons and enhancing the visualisation of Christopher's thought processes. The production was well-received by critics and audiences. Utah Theatre Bloggers praised Gold's direction, noting that she "ties all the elements together seamlessly, crafting a production that is both visually dynamic and emotionally resonant."

‘Theatre with Care’ at Birch Creek Assisted Living

​

For 10 weeks, Birch Creek residents immersed themselves in a dynamic Applied Theatre program featuring storytelling, music, sensory exploration, and movement sessions. Jayne guided the program alongside one of her undergraduate mentees, creating a rich learning experience that brought Applied Theatre studies to life for both participants and students alike.

Promenade theatre history performance on the streets of Brecon

​

Using her doctoral research on Brecon's theatre history, Jayne secured Heritage Lottery funding and collaborated with the community theatre group Brecon Little Theatre to tell the story of Brecon's theatrical  past. The sell-out show was entirely community led and produced. To accompany the project, Jayne worked with a local designer Signe L Design to create a self-guided walking history map and schools' education packs.

Build your own Brainstorm
 
This project was a collaboration between Jayne and Ned Glasier, Artistic Director of Company 3, in response to their production of Brainstorm (National Theatre). It was developed as a six-week explorative project with 180 Year 8 students at EGA which culminated in the creation of a 20-minute film and accompanying resource pack funded by the Wellcome Trust.  

Coming Home
​
Coming Home was developed as part of the Barbican Box project in collaboration with Complicite. Co-directed and devised by Jayne, it uses movement and speech to tell young people’s own moving experiences of migration.  
 

Sharing Voices

​

In collaboration with educator and director Ali Godfrey, Jayne co-founded and delivered a Theatre for Development project in Kalutara, Sri Lanka.  With funding secured from the Leverhulme Trust, this project improved the teaching of English at a local charity for the poorest children in the region.   To ensure longevity, the unique programme trained teachers in Drama teaching methodologies alongside working with the young people. 

Trading Ages
​

Trading Ages was an intergenerational community performance project produced, directed and facilitated by Jayne, involving East London school students and residents from a nearby care home for the elderly.  Through the sharing of dance, song and poetry, the two generations came together to celebrate each other’s stories and experiences.  This helped foster community cohesion and built a lasting connection between the two community groups.
