Off the Map specializes in developing theatre projects that explore social issues. We facilitate discussion using the theatre piece as a catalyst, and encourage creative responses to the issues.

By designing workshop environments that enable participants from marginalised communities to tap into their natural inventiveness, we produce theatre events that inspire community interest and promote social change.

Off the Map draws artists, communities and organisations together to explore ideas and develop strategies for dealing with complex social issues. We aim to stimulate discussion, challenge existing perceptions and encourage social awareness across communities.

Using theatre as a vehicle for the expression of ideas, Off the Map develops projects that bring the experiences of marginalised communities into the public eye. The work provides an opportunity for marginalised communities to connect with the broader community in a way that recognizes their unique perspectives. Through performances in forums and other public spaces, the creative work becomes a stimulus for discussion about the complex and singular issues faced by these communities.
