Welcome.

Jess Morgan is a writer, musician and theatremaker based in Norwich. With a background in music spanning some fourteen years, her songs have been backed by BBC Radio 2 and 6 MUSIC. Her music has seen her perform and tour extensively throughout the UK, Europe and North America in small venues and theatres - and just once, the O2 Arena. Jess was also a writer in residence with the British Council crossing Canada by train, and collaborating with Indigenous artists, and recently with The National Centre For Writing and Norwich Research Park, producing new writing collaborating with plant/crop research scientists.

Jess’ show, Boring Someone In Some Dark Cafe was backed by The National Centre for Writing, Applause Rural Touring and Creative Arts East and eventually performed at the Norfolk and Norwich Festival in 2023.

Her current project focuses on birds and climate change on the East Coast of England and follows the fictional story of one woman’s unique approach to citizen science and record keeping in a pre-internet age. The play, which features both new music and narrative, is supported by Arts Council England and co-commissioned by Norwich Arts Centre, with Work In Progress shows commencing in Summer 2024.

Jess is an Associate Artist at The Sainsbury Centre Museum and Art Gallery and an Associate Artist at Norwich Arts Centre.
