ABOUT THIS TRAINING

Devised theatre is the process of creating theatre from scratch, whether collectively or individually. In this training, we focus on collaborative creation, leading participants to take part in developing original performance material together, through various content generating processes, including writing, improvisation, physical movement, scene building, site specific work, research, and active reflection. The multifaceted nature of devising is explored, from the more intuitive and spontaneous approaches to theatre making to the more constructed methods, leading to composition, which is essentially the process of assembling, editing, and re-shaping individuals’ various productions and experiences, to form a final performance piece. The training explores various ways of conceiving ideas and forming personal views within the broadest social and political contexts inherent to the group, springing from the personal connections of each individual to the subject matter.
