Our Team

  • Archie Rowell - Director

    Archie is the Artistic Director of OffPiste, which he created in 2019 after his National Youth Theatre intake course during his second year of A-levels.

    Since then, he has led the company through all of their multi-disciplinary work and five Arts Council funded projects.

    OffPiste is Archie’s vehicle to showcase South West and rural talent, create diverse work and connect people across the region. Becoming an Associate Company to the National Youth Theatre has bought it all full circle.
