Jake Parisse

I believe that a community ought to be measured not by size or volume, but by the strength of the bonds between its members.

Any given day at JWS, I have the distinct pleasure of watching first hand as new bonds are formed, old ones strengthen, and the gaps of impossibility grow smaller and smaller.

As an Artist, I am committed to a practice wherein collaborators recognize and respect the vast collection of artistic perspectives and boundaries between them.

As Studio Manager, JAKE PARISSE is here to help facilitate community members through the class registration process, respond to JWS related inquiries, and acquaint curious minds with all the studio has to offer. An alumni of Muhlenberg College, Jake graduated with BAs in both Theatre and Sociology. He is certified in Mental Health First Aide, COVID Compliance, and hold the rank of Advanced Actor Combatant with the Society of American Fight Directors. When not managing inboxes, Jake works as an Actor and Violence Director whose work has been seen on stages all across NYC.
