Indigenous Artist

Colin Wolf is a Métis performer, theatre maker, and activist who was born and raised in the North-East of Moh’kins’tsis (Calgary), AB on Treaty 7 Territory. He graduated with a BFA in Performance from the University of Lethbridge in 2014. His theatre work has focused on the development of new, Indigenous, and politically relevant theatre. After graduating, Colin co-founded Thumbs Up Good Work Theatre with his sister Caleigh Crow. Their most recent project, The Born Again Crow, explored themes of racism, capitalism, and violence. As an activist, Colin works towards subsistence, art, and most importantly: safety for all. He recognizes that there is no quick way to address colonial power structures, but as a colonially trained artist he has spent the last half decade working with Indigenous artists to de-colonize his practice. Colin is currently serving as the Artisti Director at Gwaandak theatre in Whitehorse, Yukon - The Territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council. If Colin isn’t Theatre-Making, he is arms deep in the garden, or hard at work making breads and baking cakes.
