Volcano Theatre is an artist-led organisation that explores ideas and social relations through performance and participation. Viewing its audiences as active participants in making meaning; and embracing the immediacy, surprise, and risk at the heart of the live experience, the company's work is highly responsive to social and political context. With a perpetual sense of unfinished business, Volcano is committed to making, dismantling, and remaking - bringing fresh sense to its material in the present, with an eye on everything it has been through. The company is based in Swansea, where it creates original performance work and hosts visiting and community arts. We are outward-looking Welsh internationalists with deep Swansea roots, fascinated by the place we live and make work and its relationship to other places. Our home in Swansea is a huge disused supermarket where we create and perform our work and host and support performances, events and activities by other artists, organisations and community groups. Our youth wing comprises The Mighty New for children and Volcano Youth Company for teenagers and young adults.
