About

​​

Jonluke McKie is a multidisciplinary artist who's work spans theatre, music and visual art. His work is socially engaged, often collaborating with community groups as co-creators.​​​

As a theatre maker he creates new, intimate theatre that is contemporary, down-to-earth and plays with form, often exploring themes of class and sexuality.

​​​

As a theatre director he works in new-writing, often supporting writers in the dramaturgical process from the earliest concept of an idea.

​​

As an illustrator he focusses on character design, portraits and figurative art. His work is sketchy and organic.
