Gloria Jack

Gloria is Jack’s camp, sequin wielding persona who finds power in laughter and holding safer spaces for LGBTQIA+ people. When the sequins are packed away, Jack is an artist, youth worker and facilitator based in Peterborough.

Icebreaker questions and rule bending are key to Jack’s work as a facilitator, youth worker and performer. Using play, workshops and a sprinkling of camp, they connect with communities and young people to challenge restrictions and traditional expectations. Jack wants audiences to discover how fun and joy can be used to provoke and question, and how laughter can be used as a radical act.
