about us
OUT OF LINE rediscovers classical texts using the practice of theatre, contemporary circus and dance to challenge past assumptions about the stories so monumental in our cultural landscape, and amplify the untold story.
Passionate about the words that are written and re-imagining the actions we take with them. Out of Line is creating a company to inspire change through the classics.
IN A NUTSHELL
OUR VALUES :
COMMUNICATION For us theatre is ultimately a space for connection between artists and audience
DIVERSITY Every perspective matters.
DICIPLINE AND DARE Through safe practice that we can build a space for taking risks.
COLLABORATION AND OPPOSITION Both are valuable, and sometimes you need to break the rules…
THE CLOWN We are all the most beautiful idiots. OUT OF LINE are committed to remembering that, at every possible moment.
From Marianne Oldham - Founder and Artistic Director
‘…it’s the connection between people that makes us want to look, something happening in the space.
By re-examining these stories that have, over time, shaped our collective mindset, we are asking - what might have been happening when we weren’t looking?
What’s happening right now?
Theatre has such a unique power to illuminate and magnify the physical space between people, revealing how we influence each other within it. So, by forming a diverse collaborate of circus artists, dancers, and actors, we want to give as much weight to the physical space as we do to the words of the play.
Encouraging a risk taking, instinctual, and physical response to the extraordinary situations that present themselves.’
OUT OF LINE wants to build a playground for shaking up our assumptions and giving space for we haven’t heard.
Establishing our theatrical space as a rare place of connection, between artists, and innovation for individuals and communities.
