They also contributed to new writing developments, performing in readings for Peter Mountford’s Tangles and Daniel Tobia’s Flying Termites and collaborating on projects with Ilbijerri Theatre for The Score and with Polyglot Theatre for Pram People. These experiences shaped Jaimee’s commitment to collaboration, accessibility and community centered practice.

 

While acting is Jaimee’s foundation, they turned to writing and producing to create the queer, feminist and Australian stories they wanted to see on stage. Their debut play 7 Minutes in Hell premiered at The Butterfly Club in 2022. This was followed by The Wilde Kind which opened at Midsumma Festival in 2023 before being re worked and presented at Melbourne Fringe at Theatre Works.

The work premiered in March then returned for Melbourne Fringe in October and has since toured to Brighton Fringe and Camden Fringe.

 

Once in London Jaimee continued to produce new writing by Australian writers and themselves under their company Fruitcake Productions. This included Let Me Know If You Feel Something by Amber Spooner that was presented at FreshFest In the AfterGlow which they also wrote and co-directed which was presented at The Hope Theatre for Camden Fringe. Lastly, The Speech which they wrote for their new emerging artist program called The First Slice Initiative.

 

Amongst this work, They Independently Produced two worked by new artists that included Big Baby by Strange Effect Productions and Falling For by Normal Media Productions. 

 

Jaimee is passionate about theatre that foregrounds dialogue, emotion and connection. They work through improvisation, trans disciplinary practice and collaborative processes that encourage risk taking and authenticity.  They continue to build spaces for emerging artists and are committed to making theatre that captures feeling, sparks conversation and amplifies underrepresented voices.
