About The October Project

Founded in 2026 by Parniea Bennett in West London

Our Story & Parent Entity

The October Project ('TOP') was founded in 2026 by Parniea Bennett in West London as the creative live theatre and performance division of Reflectionist Media Ltd. Combining Reflectionist Media's decade of technical production, sound engineering, and AV expertise with TOP's bold artistic vision, the company produces cutting-edge, anti-trope live theatre.

Under the slogan "Committed to Art Crimes", TOP does not operate as a rigid drama school. Instead, it is a living collaborative hub backed by Reflectionist Media Ltd., where creators can be involved in acting, directing, sound reinforcement, lighting design, and scriptwriting regardless of formal qualifications.

"Theatre isn't a museum for preserving old rules. It's a living, breathing canvas where art crimes are committed daily to connect people."

— Parniea Bennett, Founder & Creative Lead
