The OffWestEnd Awards (Offies) has recognised the exceptional independent theatre that takes place beyond the glitz of London’s West End. Lost Origin was nominated for the IDEA (Innovative / Devised / Experimental / Atypical) Award—shows that are not plays, musicals, operas, dance, circus, caberets or revues but can contain elements of any of these genres. IDEA shows challenge traditional performance expectations, and push the boundaries of what theatre can do in terms of content, narrative, creation and execution. If your show takes place in an unusual location, plays with the role of the audience, or deconstructs any of the standard elements of theatre, then there’s a good chance it qualifies as IDEA.
