Sula Castle is a Scottish artist working across theatres, clubs, and digital spaces. Passionate about multidisciplinary dance performance, they work with contemporary dance, poetry and corporeal sculpture to fluctuate between states of honesty and performativity, militancy and submission, and visibility and disguise. 

In ode to the communities we are born into, those we find ourselves within, and those we choose to inhabit, Sula uses movement to question how we can hold onto and reimagine collectivity under the current socio-political climate. Their work has been described as “staggering, trance-like” and “brilliantly chaotic”.

Sula is a co-founder of Tough Boys, a dance theatre collective from Scotland. Alongside collaborator Roseann Dendy, Tough Boys high-octane movement vocabulary has been presented across the UK and centres themes of queerness, patriotism, religion and class. Since forming in 2021, Tough Boys’ “visceral and pulsating”  movement language has been described to have an “already relevant and recognisable voice”. 

Tough Boys have presented contemporary work across an array of venues including The Place Theatre, Jackson’s Lane and Sadler’s Wells, as well as clubs and galleries Dalston Superstore, Clapham Grand, Ugly Duck, The Horse Hospital.
