Ellie Wasylocha

As an Acting graduate fresh out of Arts University Bournemouth, I have recently moved to Brighton & Hove with my partner to establish myself as a performer. University facilitated my growth as an actor, thinker and a person. Through my Zen meditation practice and Sanford Meisner's acting techniques, I have continued to find ways of breaking through self-consciousness and find success as an actor. For me, performance is most alive when lived in dynamic responsiveness with our collaborators and audience, and so my personal ethos emphasises the art of play, through which we can discover an authentic, engaging and truth-telling performance. I’m excited to work with Ignite Theatre in Newhaven, immerse myself into the process of our production and establish connections with my new fellow creatives!

Jon Terry

Jon ran away from the glamour of accountancy to become an actor and he’s never been busier. One of the highlights has been two successive years at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in plays which both received 4 star reviews and then toured locally. During 2022 he has played the lead in a new production written and directed by Philip Ayckbourn, played the dastardly Elyot in Noel Coward’s “Private Lives” and played the evil Nazi “Von Pfunz” in Ignite Theatre’s much acclaimed production of “Gabriel”. He has greatly enjoyed the new challenges of working on Granma’s Grimms and the professionalism and commitment of all the Ignite Team.
