Meet the Team
Millie Boyes - Makeup Artist

Millie is a graduate from York St John University, and has a passion for creating new, colourful, and exciting makeup looks. She enjoyed working with CoPeCky and looks forward to working with them on future performances. Millie also helped CoPeCky backstage with their performance and would love to gain more experience in working backstage with props and assisting the actors. Millie has worked in a few performances, assisting with music and lighting and would like to further this skill with other performances.
Jack Moran - Theatre Technician
Jack Moran is a performer, writer, dramaturg, fulfiller of odd jobs, and peddler of the absurd, based in Harrogate.
He has a background in writing and devising ensemble work, graduating with first-class honours in Drama & Theatre at York St. John University, though is eager to get involved with and learn about as much of the creative process as possible. In his third and final year of study, he had the opportunity to help put on a week-long festival as part of the production team at the Theatre Royal in York. Operating lighting and sound for performances in the main house arose as part of this; Jack was ecstatic to then assist CoPeCky in their debut show Throw The Balls Away! (And Have Fun) as part of their technical team, consulting on lighting and operating sound cues from the rehearsal process to the performance itself.
Molly Owen - Prop Designer
Molly Owen is a welsh artist whose main practice is punch-needle rugmaking technique, weaving, and felting in order to create abstract rugs. Molly uses materials such as yarn, wool, thread, and wool roving to create soft and tactile with these materials being familiar and welcoming due to their link to craft. Their artwork focuses on calm and safety within the senses of touch and sight, with their main focus on creating accessible art that people can freely touch and interact with opposed to the Do Not Touch gallery etiquette. To explore this idea of ‘art you can touch’ further, Molly has been developing her skills in prop-making to explore how fine art, theatre and craft can collaborate. This new development involves working alongside theatre practitioners to create unique props which serve their function whilst also developing the stylistic voice of the production.
Benjamin Weir - Performing Assistant
Benjamin Weir is a practitioner recently graduated with an MA in Theatre and Performance. Weir's aim is to create work that is simple yet compelling, that is emotive yet fact. But all the same giving the audience a chance to enjoy rather than study. His goal is to gain as much experience as he can to become a teacher and lecturer within his career. Weir has performed at numerous fringe venues including Theatre@41 and more noticeable names such as York Theatre Royal.
