Dan Wolf (he/him) is an artist who works with rap, theater, personal narrative, and history to give voice to the broken world we live in. His performances combine conventional theater techniques with the music, language, and aesthetics of the hip-hop generation. His multi-sensory work draws its power from years of experience writing, teaching, and performing with Felonious, a critically acclaimed hip-hop music and theatre company, and Sound in the Silence, a remembrance project that creates live performances on-location at memorial sites connected to the Holocaust. His projects have traveled all around the world from theaters and concert halls to museums, schools, and memorial sites where he engages history as a prompt to make vital music and theater that can only live in this moment.

His play “Stateless”, a hip-hop and beatbox infused theatrical collaboration with Grammy award winner Tommy Shepherd, balancing German and Jewish history with the problems of racism and the African American experience, has been produced in San Francisco, Hamburg and New York. His play “Angry Black White Boy”, based on the novel by Adam Mansbach, premiered at Intersection for the Arts in San Francisco and was named Top Ten Best Theater Plays by the San Francisco Chronicle and San Francisco Examiner. His play “Beatbox: A Raparetta” (co-authored with Tommy Shepherd) has been produced in San Francisco, Oakland, Petaluma, Germany, and at the New York Hip Hop Theater Festival. “Beatbox” is published by TCG in the Hip Hop Theater anthology “Plays from the BoomBox Galaxy”. 

Studio work with Felonious includes the albums Fight For Light, The List, Bust-a-Nursery Rhyme, Produce Section: Vol 1, Up To Something and Live City. Felonious has shared the stage with The Roots, De La Soul, Big Daddy Kane, DJ Premier, Black Eyed Peas, Zion I, and Living Legends.

He is the co-founder of the Bay Area Theatre Cypher, a collective of multi-hyphenate hip hop artists that live at the crossfader of theater and hip hop as a means to dismantle the traditional power structures found within the theater-making process by channeling the Hip Hop Cypher as a conduit for inclusive storytelling. 

He is a board member of the Playwrights Foundation.
