Wolfa Collective

Wolfa is a shapeshifter, an entity whose appearance manifests only through others. She proposes a name for a shared identity—a "post-identity" that both partly creates the members of the collective and dismantles their solitude. In 2024, Wolfa established the Wolfa Collective in Antwerp, gathering artists from diverse countries and disciplines, including dance, drama, sound, film, costume design, visual arts, and lighting. Due to her shifting appearance, different artists can assume her name, giving the collective a fluid form and structure. The aim is to cultivate a transdisciplinary platform that fosters experimental, collaborative work. Wolfa is dedicated to creating and presenting works that explore horizontal creative processes, shared authorship, and collective voices. At the heart of their philosophy is the concept of a shifting "queer structure," where "queer" signifies the potential for both themselves and their work to continuously transform, resisting fixed formats and traditional boundaries.

The artists in the Wolfa Collective have trained at institutions such as the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp (Dance, Kleinkunst, and Composition), ArtEZ Dance Artist, the Conservatory of Amsterdam, RITCS, Skurup Folkhögskola, Nordens Fotoskola, New Education for Contemporary Dance, and Centro Andaluz de Danza. They bring a wealth of experience, from creating their own works and collaborating with other artists to working with companies and participating in various projects. Their collaborations include work with Cullberg, Danish Dance Theatre, GRIP, and Tout Petit, and their performances have been presented at venues such as the National Theatre of Greece, Blikfabriek, LAFS#8 Arenberg, de Studio, Archipel, l’Uzinne, Café Theater Festival, MORPHO kunsthal extra-city, Kavka Oudaan, and Södra Teatern.

Wolfa’s founding artists are Ella-My Blomdahl, Elin Hallqvist, Luca Tomaselli, and Dimitra Sofroniou, along with the artists participating in the first project.
