The Wolf In The Winter

The Wolf in the Winter is an international performance collective. A group of six solo performance artist who come together through the years to make a pack.
The essential element that binds the group is a commitment to direct communication that is not splintered by language or clogged in technology.

We speak through physical action in a tough poetic about the world around us. Each time we perform we invite one or two other artist to join us, thus keeping the packs manifestations fresh and vital. We also actively vary our venues and audience. Making work in Greenland for a ninety percent Inuit audience. Haunting Spanish industrial towns with no previous experience of contemporary art.

Smuggling ourselves into theatrical festivals as well as being invited to perform in significant culture centres like the Württenbergischer Kunstverien Stuttgart, Germany, the South London Gallery and the National Review of Live Art.

Jessie Kleemann, our guest wolf, invited The Wolf in The Winter to come and perform in Greenland. Our first performances were in the Katuaq Cultural Centre in Nuuk and during the following week we performed in the more remote area of Sissimiut.  
GUEST WOLVES To keep the blood of the pack vital and alive and to avoid incest and repetition we like to work with other artists.  
In medieval Europe. January and February were called the season of the wolf. The cold would drive them from the sanctum of the forest into the townships to forage for food and shelter.

Die Raum-Ereignisse der Performance: Brenngläser, in denen ein Moment Welt geschieht. Sie stellt eine wie auch immer absonderliche Wirklichkeit her, in der sich ein Spiel vollzieht.
