Jennifer Morafkova
Jennifer is a classically trained opera singer, holding both a Bachelor of Music (BMUS) and a Postgraduate Diploma in Vocal Performance, and she is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Music at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Her love of theatre began at an early age, taking part in school productions and community drama, where she discovered a passion for storytelling through performance. This early involvement in drama inspired her to pursue opera, an art form that unites her vocal training with her love for the dramatic arts.
Alongside her studies and performing career, Jennifer has developed a wide range of experience in arts administration and education. She has undertaken a variety of administrative roles, including publicity and management with Raven Opera Company, where she supported the promotion and organisation of professional productions. These opportunities strengthened both her understanding of the performing arts industry and her ability to support creative teams behind the scenes.
In addition to her administrative experience, Jennifer has a strong commitment to teaching and mentoring. She currently teaches singing lessons privately, sharing her expertise with students of all ages and abilities, and for the past year has worked with The Cotswold Youth Theatre in both administrative and teaching roles. Through this work, she has been dedicated to encouraging young people to develop confidence, creativity, and a lifelong enjoyment of the arts.
Jennifer has now joined Tribe Theatre to continue this mission, bringing together her professional performance background, organisational skills, and passion for education to support and inspire the next generation of theatre-makers.
