Test Kitchen

OddKnock’s initiative of experiential mess making: a rolling residency for physical theater artists to dive in and juice the fruit of their curiosities in an experimental, provocative play space. Kitted out with materials to catalyze wildness and quirky storytelling, Test Kitchen provides a consent-based space for honest conversation and collaboration.

In each iteration, OddKnock Productions takes residency within the RiNo Arts District in Denver, CO and transforms an underused warehouse / storefront into an immersive performance venue, designed to host a calendar of unique events that provoke and inspire.

Each Test Kitchen production is written, directed, and devised in collaboration with a local cast and design team, to create work-in-progress showcases of new immersive theater productions. These productions build on OddKnock’s award-winning experience designing and building immersive theater that reignites the imagination of audiences and invites them to contribute to the story unfolding around them.
