About
Jonah's journey into the world behind the curtain began, quite literally, with a curiosity about the shadows. As a child in Bristol, he grew up in the dance studio and would slip into rehearsals, drawn less to the dancers’ movement and more to the warm glow of the lights and the quiet choreography of the production process.
That early fascination became a purpose: to help stories come alive in ways no audience member ever sees, yet everyone feels. Today, as Technical Manager at Ballet Cymru, he leads a tight-knit team responsible for touring ballet’s most delicate moments: the subtle warmth of sidelights on dancers, the quiet perfection of timing.
Jonah’s honest approach; acknowledging the long nights, the near-missed cues, the triumph of a well-executed blackout, has become his signature. He champions collaboration, believing the best technical work isn’t about showing off, but about serving the story.
