“Skald” – A poet and storyteller

Our aim as a group of creatives is to produce and perform untold stories from an international perspective, with a broad range of mediums and genre-bending narratives.

Based in England, Germany, Spain and Iceland we seek influence from diverse backgrounds which cross both cultures and languages. We are inspired by history and our present day, crafting compelling stories, uncovering forgotten tales and bringing characters to life.

Join us on our journey and gather around to share in humanity’s oldest tradition, to tell stories.
