Jacob Coleman (Instructor: Applied Theatre) is a director, performer and teacher based in Portland, Oregon. He enjoys creating new kinds of performance that playfully dismantle assumptions about what theatre is and what it is good for. He used to have hobbies other than theatre, but has forgotten what they were.
Jacob is co-director of the Portland Experimental Theatre Ensemble (PETE), for which he is currently directing Song of the Dodo. From 2002-2009 he worked as an artistic director of Fever Theater, and he is honored to have been a lead artist in the development of fifteen full-length original performances with Fever and PETE.
Other favorite collaborators include Jenny Vogel, Liminal Performance Group, Portland Center Stage/JAW Festival, zoe|juniper, Portland Institute for Contemporary Art/TBA Festival, On The Boards/Northwest New Works Festival, and Water In The Desert/Headwaters Theatre.
Jacob studied Viewpoints, Suzuki, extended voice and devising techniques with the SITI Company, Wendell Beavers, Marya Lowry, and Leigh Fondakowski, and earned his MFA at Naropa University. He ends up working on a lot of shows about death, violence and killing, but hopes to switch to light comedy soon.
