John Britton

Welcome to my website.

I coach and mentor for personal and professional development, paint, write, teach, and grow trees.

I help you connect with your genius and thrive as a creative artist and facilitator.

I’m here when you want more from life, helping you connect with your genius, and thrive.

If you’re blocked, frustrated, lost, or looking for new direction, I’d like to help you.

I work with artists, performers, creatives, educators, researchers, mavericks, non-conformists, radical thinkers, innovators, rebels, seekers and visionaries.

Let’s talk.

For thirty years I travelled the world as director, performer, and teacher of performers.

I worked in theatre, somatics, dance, circus, improvisation, clowning, education and things beyond any definition. I also worked in community development, youth theatre, corporate training and schools, conservatories & universities.

For 8 years I was an academic running a Masters degree based in my own training processes.

I developed an approach to personal and professional development which I call Self-With-Others.

My recent research has been into the deep level wisdom of performance-making. I call it What Actors Know. I first wrote about it in an essay for Aeon Magazine.

I had an amazing journey as a theatre artist, but there was a cost. I burned out. My health collapsed.

I’m strong again now, and the lessons of that time deeply inform how I work and how I serve others.

From my tumble-down house in rural Ireland, I use Self-With-Others to guide you when you yearn for a deeper engagement with life (whatever you do to earn your living). From my studio in Bushmills, I create ink-based contemporary art.

I’ll help you embrace your potential – creatively, fully and joyously.
