Company of Wolves is a laboratory theatre company based in Glasgow.

We make visionary theatre for adventurous audiences, and lead transformational training for artists, students and anyone interested in embodied creativity

We believe in experimentation, inclusion, process, collaboration and community.

We research what makes us human: our bodies, our breath, our voices, our stories, each other.

We want to change the theatre industry for the better, help develop innovative theatre-makers of the future and model best practice in all that we do.

Our performances are raw, irreverent, uncivilised and sublime.

We are committed to bringing experimental theatre to people and places that are often overlooked.

We have toured all over Scotland: in twelve years, we have performed 163 times to more than 6000 people, at 46 venues across 17 Local Authorities, including remote regions across the Highlands and Islands, Orkney, Argyll and Bute, and the Borders.

We make our work for the road: we are just as at home in remote village halls and community centres as we are in studio theatres or main stages.

We believe the magic lies in the connection between people, the meeting of performer and audience, wherever this takes place.
