Wulf Theatre and the Summer of 2012!

News: Wulf Theatre launches and bounds into her first summer season!

I’m very excited to introduce you to Wulf Theatre and to put my muddy paw up as Artistic Director.

Wulf Theatre’s focus is to create performances that are physical, playful, epic and intimate all at once. We make work that shifts and changes with each new piece, each new experiment, evolving as we do. Our edges are rough, our feet are dusty, our spirits wild and we have magic on our side. At our core: the story, our beating heart.

And so, 2012  sees Wulf Theatre collaborate with some very exciting artists and festivals to deliver two distinct performances over summer. First up, we’ll be performing Little Tales, Little Truths at Colourfest, a festival of yoga, art, music and dance in Poole, Dorset, on Saturday 25th August.  This musical and magical storytelling piece will be performed as part of Dorset’s 9th annual storytelling event The Sting in the Tale Festival. Then we’ll hot foot it over to Bournemouth where we’ll be collaborating with visual artists The Girls as part of the second Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival. With wide-eyed stares and wonky grins we’ll welcome you to the Land of Lower Gardenia, a strange and wondrous land where all is not quite as it seems... Wulf Theatre looks forward to seeing you there. And we’ll be in touch with details of our new website soon!

Wulf Theatre brings you a feast of physical, lyrical storytelling and song in this original, haunting and humorous performance.

And they might just answer your Big Life Questions…
