The mission of the Outside In Festival is to showcase devised works through the fostering and presentation of both national and international artists. We serve as a bridge between these artists and audiences outside of the established artistic centers in order to expose more communities to non-traditional avenues of artistic expression.
The Outside In Festival is supported by Kickbox Leasing.
This program made possible in part through a grant from the city of Lubbock, as recommended by Civic Lubbock, Inc.
OUTSIDE IN FESTIVAL
AT A GLANCE
The objective of the Outside In Festival is to encourage and foster cultural exchange between the South Plains and artists from around the country, and the world. The festival utilizes shipping containers each housing a different performance created by a wide array of talented artists and performers.
We aim to bring different styles of theatrical conventions to the South Plains, establishing our festival as a premier national platform for devised theatre, bringing new audiences to the Lubbock area.

Our goal is to bring as many as we can to Lubbock to showcase their amazing talents alongside our top Lubbock artists, but we need your help to do that. Below is just a small taste of the potential for this festival, with so many more yet to be decided.

Our approach of theatre centers around the physical expression of actors and using the emotional strength of images as storytelling devices. We are always searching for theatre forms that exceed language and the reality of ordinary life, in order to let the audience experience what is always lingering underneath this mundanity.All people, including actors, dancers and musicians, have a ton of stories, experiences, emotions, memories and reactions to the world around them, contained within them.
