In this workshop, garnered to fit theater students with various devised theater experience levels, participants will learn what devised theater is, and discover the endless possibilities which accompany it. Participants will get to create short pieces, and group pieces, and watch a few examples of devised theater. We will discuss the benefits and challenges of devised theater and define what it is, using some examples. participants will gain tools to be more collaborative ensemble members and theater-makers.
Wear clothes you feel comfortable in and please have your video on (if you can)! I would love for you to also bring a notebook if you want to remember what you did during the workshop!
This will be on Zoom! There will be a google slideshow in the background and I will use that to 'start the discussion' about devised theater for the first 15 min. Then, after a group discussion, we will do some creating devised pieces, which requires that participants have their videos and mic on. There will also be a list of devised theater resources that I will send to everyone at the end of the workshop.
