Devising

Devising is the collaborative process by which a creative team, often including writers, actors, and directors, develops a theater piece from scratch. It involves exploring ideas, experimenting with scenes, and shaping the overall structure through improvisation and discussion. Unlike working from a pre-written script, devising is an organic process where the group crafts the story, characters, and performance techniques together, allowing for flexible creativity and collective input. This method results in a unique, often experimental, piece tailored to the creators’ insights and perspectives.
