Working with actors...
“I was fortunate enough to work with Jules in one-on-one sessions as well as watch her beautifully command and steer a room of over 100. She always came from a base of kindness, knowledge, and fun and that enabled all of us - whether we were professional, community, or creative team - to feel safe and supported enough to make our best and boldest work. It was an absolute joy and I hope I get the privilege to work with her again”
Beth Hinton-Lever, As You Like It, Queens Theatre Hornchurch, National Theatre Public Acts 2019"Jules is a proactive leader in the room. She knows how to nurture a person’s talent to allow them to reach their full potential, all the while caring for their specific artistic needs. As a pragmatic Director, Jules clearly explains visions. Her willingness to collaborate allows the room to breathe and create freely."
Vedi Roy, As You Like It, Queens Theatre Hornchurch, National Theatre Public Acts 2019“Jules works brilliantly with text and very closely from the actors perspective, drawing out the subtleties of character and narrative from the text to deepen and enrich the performance.”
Fleur Shepherd, Waiting at Goodge Street [Overground Festival, June 2012], Mesh, and Shaking the Tree [International Festival of Playwriting, Croydon Warehouse, March 2012]
''Jules is a warm and very giving director. She has that wonderful ability to steer you in the right direction without you even knowing its happened..''
Kate Malyon, Waiting at Goodge Street [Overground Festival, June 2012], Final Episode... [WriteBites] & The Visit [Fishtank Festival 2010]"...Jules' attention to detail with both text and character and the freedom given to explore all possibilities, made for a challenging and exciting rehearsal process. Her generosity and encouragement was inspiring..."
Pauline Whitaker, Out the Back [WriteBites - May 2009]
“... She has an excellent instinct when it comes to staging work, with simplicity and clarity of storytelling being key to her working method... Working with Jules doesn’t feel like work, it feels like a huge amount of fun and this enjoyment of the work is always positively apparent in performance.”
