Spin Off is an important strand of ATC’s work that runs throughout the process and performance of all our productions in a variety of ways.  The aim of Spin Off is to open up the work to the audience and give opportunities for people to get involved and participate in the work, whether this is part of us supporting an emerging practitioner or getting people involved for the first time in a workshop or event.  We hope that Spin Off will contextualise our work and make it more accessible as it acts as a forum for discussion and involvement around the themes and issues that our productions raise.

"I liked the mixed people and could see that talent is pan-generational: it's good to explore and harness this as much as possible, as it's so easy to forget in today's ageist society." Participant from ATC's inter-generational acting workshop Are You Afraid of Ghosts?
