Shadowland creates original theatre that entertains, engages, empowers, and inspires people to interact positively with each other and their environments. This theatre attempts to express our deepest imaginings and our highest hopes.
The company has a strongly visual style that uses puppetry, mask and spectacle to engage participants of all ages in the collective creative process. We have a studio in Parkdale and often use the Toronto Islands as our stage. Shadowland's work is visually based with an emphasis on puppetry, mask, animated sculpture and spectacle arts. We run a weekly youth theatre program and are currently involved in community explorations of the cultures, histories, traditions, and intimate relationships we have with food, gardening, and the impact of the landscape.

We see the artists' role as similar to that of a baker, farmer or carpenter – essential to the balance and health of a community. We enable the expression of collective celebration, free exchange of ideas and the active involvement in creation.
