Off-Leash Area is a contemporary performance company based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The company focuses on creating original performance pieces that draw on many disciplines in theatre, dance, music, and visual art. Founded by Jennifer Ilse and Paul Herwig in 1999, Off-Leash Area has gone on to win critical praise and multiple awards for its highly stylized physical performances and set designs. Herwig and Ilse recently converted their garage into a mini-theater where they perform rough versions of their plays for small reservation-only audiences.^[1]
