Devised theatre is a collaborative approach to making theatre that does not rely upon a preexisting script. Instead, the content of the play is made in the rehearsal room based on the contributions of all involved. Designers, directors, technicians, and performers move beyond their traditional roles as interpretive artists of a playwright's work to also act as generative artists creating the content. There are many techniques for creating devised theatre including Moment Work, Viewpoints Composition, Frantic Assembly, DV8, Lecoq, La Pocha Nostra, and many more. This course is open to people with a background in any area of theatre, music, or visual art, or anyone with an openness to creative exploration and growth.
