Out of Kilter Theatre is a Manchester-based company.

We’re interested in devising, developing, and performing new work as well as bringing our own approach and ideas to the production of published plays.

Whether it’s the subject, or the style, or both, we aspire to make theatre that is strange, unusual, out of the ordinary, surreal, evocative, provocative, bold, and beautiful.

We believe in theatre as a physical, intellectual, and emotional space of wonder, magic, and strangeness; a place where we can embark on new journeys, into other places in this world, or in other worlds, or inside ourselves.

Our emphasis is on making theatre as performance rather than conventional narrative and we love to combine emotive, non-naturalistic, and naturalistic language with a strong emphasis on incorporating physicality/dance. We believe in the importance of collaboration as part of the development and rehearsal process and actively encourage performers to contribute their ideas in the rehearsal room so that they feel a sense of ownership of the work.

As a company, we will be working with talent from the North-West region and will be offering valuable opportunities and experience to young people at the start of their careers in theatre and the performing arts.
