devising theatre

Devising theatre is a collaborative process where a group of artists creates a performance from scratch rather than adapting an existing script. It involves brainstorming ideas, exploring themes, and developing characters through workshops and improvisation. Participants—including writers, actors, and directors—contribute their unique perspectives and skills, allowing the work to evolve organically. This approach encourages creativity and innovation, often resulting in original, thought-provoking pieces that reflect contemporary issues or personal experiences. The final production is usually a blend of dialogues, movement, music, and visual elements, uniquely tailored to the group's collective vision.
