Recipe

Off-Center is theatre that feels like a night out – fewer formalities, less sitting still, more beer, more fun.  Everything we do is guided by the five ingredients below, mixed to taste:

Immersive

  • The experience extends before, during and after the show and beyond the traditional performance space
  • Audiences influence and interact, they don’t just watch

Convergent

  • Incorporating a variety of art forms
  • New and unexpected uses of technology to engage (not isolate) the audience

Connective

  • Building community
  • Collaborating with and fostering local talent

Inventive

  • A lab to test new forms, ideas, and technologies
  • Challenging the rules, formalities and definitions of theatre

Now

  • In conversation with pop and Internet culture
  • Centered around the work of young artists
