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 converted their garage into a mini-theater where they perform rough versions of their plays for small reservation-only audiences.[ 1]
