REWILD
What is Re:Wild
Re:Wild is an exploration of the principles and techniques for creating theatre in found landscapes and communities.
Wildworks’ areas of expertise include engaging a community in the research process, embedding non-professional creatives in project delivery, understanding the opportunities and challenges of making theatre-not-in-theatres, sound and music in the landscape, use of fire, falling light, distance and close-up, audience journey and both verbal and non-verbal storytelling.
Over the course of our workshops, alongside Wildworks artists, discover how Wildworks approach projects, our processes and well-worn secrets.
Through a mixture of conversation and practical activity you will gain:
- An understanding of Wildworks’ techniques
- Approaches to creating innovative and impactful scenography and design in found landscapes with a focus on Cornish landscapes and community
- Methods for constructing story for site specific theatre
- An understanding of how location influences the creative process
- Knowledge about how to make outdoor work that is resilient and can adapt to the elements and other practical constraints
- Practical experience of working as a team alongside Wildworks’ Artistic Director, Mydd Pharo, and Associate Artists
Who is this for?
- We look for a range of artistic disciplines, professional and lived experience, and we particularly welcome applications from artists who have experienced barriers to the arts.
- We ask participants to play, collaborate and embrace cross-disciplinary working; free from your usual day-to-day working practice.

Poem from Re:Wild residency participant Sarah Jane below:
Landed at Trelowarren with greetings of hugs.
A feeling of coming home.
A safe space to explore.
A wilderness to discover.
A quest to conquer.
Fizzy water swimming.
Humming and singing.
Strangers feeling like long lost friends.
Unlocking doors.
Unleashing wild dreams.
Creating mythical beings – Wildlings.
Terra Silvum – Earth Wood – Kraken of Oak
Mighty Beast – resting place for all.
Rekindled.
Revitalised.
Rewilded.
