The Daywalkers Collective is an Actor Musician Theatre company.
We create theatre that is mystical, musical and wild!
With members coming from Cornwall, Hong-Kong and the East Midlands, we stumbled upon one another in London! Having connected over a shared love of folk music, theatre and bring and share lunches we began meeting weekly. After much jamming, dreaming and food consumption we created our first show, The Snare and Feral.
This show led us to performances at Omnibus Theatre Clapham and The Nottingham Playhouse and successfully being shortlisted to perform as part of BEAM25 at the Birmingham Hippodrome.
We are currently promoting and performing our new show Mockingbird1, a show that unapologetically asserts that art was, is and always will be what makes us human.
