Director.

Jordi M. Carter (he/him/his) is a Caribbean-British director from Streatham, South London.

His work explores the tension between inheritance and self-authorship — how people move through worlds that have already assigned them meaning, and how they inhabit, negotiate, resist and remake systems of power, belonging and memory.

Through narrative architecture, rhythm, movement, musicality, image and spatial composition, his practice explores the human complexity and agency that exceeds inherited meanings and structures.

He holds a First Class BA (Joint Honours) in Drama & Film Studies from the University of Sussex.
