DC Off Script

Young people shaping the story.

Theatre, youth voice and creative inclusion commissioned by schools, charities and community partners.

Creative programmes with a purpose

Creative spaces designed around the young people in them.

Off Script is for young people who may not thrive in conventional settings or whose voices, ideas and experiences are too often overlooked.

We combine strong creative practice with youth work, inclusion, participation and mental-health-informed delivery to create programmes that are engaging, purposeful and shaped with the people taking part.

Inclusion

Creative engagement

Programmes for young people at risk of disengagement, exclusion or isolation.

Voice

Consultation and co-production

Creative methods that help young people influence services, spaces and decisions.

Making

Devised theatre

Projects ending in authentic creative work.

How it works

Designed with the partner, not lifted from a standard package.

  • Short workshops or sustained programmes
  • Clear outcomes and evaluation
  • Trauma-aware and safeguarding-led practice
  • Young people involved in shaping the process
  • Creative outcomes appropriate to the setting

Creative projects for and by young people.

The form changes, but youth voice remains central.
