About Me

Jez Dolan is an artist, educator and consultant who is interested in collaboration, social engagement, and in challenging the defined roles of artist, participant and viewer. An understanding and exploration of the nature of community, and our own place within it, is central to his work. Jez is particularly interested in the connectivity between creativity, teaching and learning and how artists make connections with others to become co - authors of their collaborations.

In his work Jez utilises a variety of art - forms, tools and techniques, moving between the roles of artist, educator, curator and producer to facilitate creative communication and experimentation, whilst encouraging thinking, learning, and reflection.

After many years’ work in a variety of roles with theatre and arts companies in Britain and Europe, and a brief spell in local authority, Jez currently works as an artist, a creative advisor with Curious Minds, and also undertakes some consultancy and business development work within the cultural sector. Jez is undertaking research into developing contemporary interdisciplinary practice in participatory artwork, whilst further developing his personal creative practice.
