We Who Wander is an independent theatrical performance art ensemble with an emphasis on site-centric and new works. We aim to use unique performance spaces to investigate all avenues of theatrical expression, with a goal of developing and exploring the boundaries of the art-form. As a collective of young artists, our objective is to bring brave concepts to the forefront of theatrical expression. We aim to create a safe space for creative individuals of all backgrounds, so as to reach a greater understanding of expression through all walks of life.  Be it through new pieces or new interpretations that encourage bold perspective.
 

We Who Wander began as a response to the limitations presented to artists in the performance industry with

its first production of This Is Our Youth. Our goal with this production was to create an opportunity for several artists to work on a piece they were passionate about, to develop characters they wanted to work on, but might not have had the opportunity to otherwise. We needed a platform to grow our craft, but with no team or audience, our art form had little active purpose.
 

Our solution was to create our own opportunities, as actors, as writers and directors, as creators, wherever and whenever we can. We Who Wander serves as a guild to connect artists with other artists, to share and develop ideas, teach one another and develop our professional skills, so that we each may be more experienced creative individuals as we step into the industry, with the tools to build a more inclusive world.

​

We Who Wander is a new theater company committed to dismantling systems of hate and oppression.

As the future of the industry, it is our goal to uplift BIPOC, queer, disabled, and other marginalized artists for the benefit of the art form.
 

As such, we would like to acknowledge that all of our site-centric works taking place on the land politically designated as New York City to be the homeland of the Lenape (Lenapehoking), who were violently displaced as a result of European settler colonialism over the course of 400 years. The Lenape are a diasporic people that remain closely connected with this land and are its rightful stewards.
 

While an acknowledgment is not enough, we believe in the importance of storytelling to show respect and

gratitude for those whose land we reside, both past and present, and to disrupt histories of erasure and

colonialism. We further intend to make actionable steps to bring forth a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive creative environment in which art can flourish.
 

Our journey towards diversity, equity, and inclusion will be ongoing and imperfect as we are not exempt from pervasive systems of societal injustice. However, it is our hope that in our commitment to growth, we remain open to examining our own biases and correcting harm for the purposes of creating a better theater and world.
