Jack Wilkin, Administrator: Peterborough (Them/They or He/Him)

Hi there! I first discovered Metal through my previous job back in 2018, and held on ever since. Before joining the team I was fortunate enough to take part in an early career artist residency before joining the team officially in December 2019 as Peterborough’s site Administrator. I’m originally from a small village just outside Cambridge, feeling most comfort and joy by taking part in school plays and making little shows with my school mates. This joy guided me to studying Drama and Creative Writing at De Montfort University Leicester, before returning to Cambridge and working as a LGBTQ+ youth worker. As a performance artist I make work in a style, described by my mum, as ‘standup monologues’. Being a youth worker and working with young people means I always have a library of ice breaker questions, my go to being if you were a biscuit what kind would you be? (Custard cream here, how about you?)
