Colin Wolf

Colin Wolf is a Métis performer, theatre maker, and activist from the North-East of Moh’kins’tsis (Calgary), AB on Treaty 7 Territory. Wolf graduated with a BFA in Dramatic Arts from the University of Lethbridge in 2014, and then spent 5 years making theatre all over the prairies with dear friends, trusted colleagues, and complicated colonial institutions. Wolf co-founded Thumbs Up Good Work Theatre Collective with his sister Caleigh Crow in 2013. After cutting his teeth in TYA, on regional stages, and in Indie theatre in the prairies Wolf felt the call of the North and moved to Whitehorse in October 2019 to serve as the Artistic Director at Gwaandak Theatre Society on the Territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Ta’an Kwäch’än Council. In spring of 2024 Wolf began working as the Managing Director at Screen Productions Yukon Association. Wolf has sat on selection committees, working groups, and strategy circles for numerous arts organisations and funders across Canada.

Wolf wrote & produced CoyWolf, a story about loss and grief backdropped by a story of land displacement. Wolf produced it as Thumbs Up in partnership with the Guild Hall Theatre in Whitehorse, and toured it to 4 rural communities. Thumbs Up is working on an extended tour of Canadian towns and cities, so follow Thumbs Up Good Work on Instagram, and Facebook to keep up on where it can be seen. He spends his spare time picking berries, snowshoeing, and tending to the artistic landscape to encourage the development of thriving art makers.
