Why

They create "sensory worlds" for those who may never have wanted to go to the theatre or people who want to try new things, they make everyone part of the world they create. They "believe that this way of working touches people in profound ways", they see the change it creates in people, see it's effect. It creates new meaning to what they believe conventional theatre is missing. It brings together a community, it changes their outlook on where they live or what they do or how they are as a person. They give a voice to communities and people, and change the lives of the people involved, creating links between everyone that were not necessarily there before.


Quotes from people involved in their projects that describe the effect WildWorks has on the community:

"As a rather Senior Citizen taking part in such a theatrical production is an experience that will live in my memory forever. Absolutely amazing."         
- Choir Member, Souterrain, Dolcoath, Cornwall


"We became a village and friends again."
Participant, Souterrain, Stanmer Park, Brighton


"We did not even notice that we were all speaking different languages…"
- Participant, Souterrain, Sotteville-les-Rouen, France


"It was important to us as it made the plight of our village aware to the outside world. It renewed our community spirit and brought us together through memories and talks of hope for the futures." 
- Stanmer Park, Resident, WildWorks Souterrain residency.
