About JTC + Co.
JTC + Co. is a project-driven theatre company led by Artistic Director, Justin Teddy Cliffe.
Primarily, we make theatre and live performances, focusing on the craft of creating temporary shared experiences that are interdisciplinary and sometimes participatory; shaped by connection and mutual ambition.
We collaborate with artists, communities, schools and the mental health sector to explore urgent + meaningful ideas that we hope deepen our connections, encouraging reflection + help people feel more at home in the world.
Driven by a vision of a Wales in which culture belongs to everyone; we see a country in which stages and cultural spaces aren’t private, but are places for our collective imaginations.
Through bold and experimental methods, we're here to make revelatory, fearless, and participatory work that is entirely of its moment.
Who We Are

Co-opting and adapting their practices on a project-by-project basis; the central ambition is to create experiemntal new work that is for as many people as possible.
