Devised Theatre--- Collaborative Creation: A form of theatre where the script originates not from a writer(s), but from collaborative, usually improvisatory, work by a group of people.
Typically begins with little more than a rehearsal space and a group of eager, committed theatre practitioners. Through a series of improvisatory theatre games or other conceptual ice-breakers.
A process in which the whole creative team develops a show collaboratively. From actors to technicians, everyone is involved in the creative process.
Methods
- Begin by focusing on form
- Then extract thematic ideas and work with them retrospectively
- Often use games as a starting point
- Depends on a lot of the style of the performance group
- Start with building characters and then build narrative strands together out of the character-based improvisational interaction.
Related to today’s class, I have a chance to get to know my identity in the class. If there is any Devising Theatre we are going to do as a project, I think I will be a good participant. Saying from another way, I cannot be a director (if they need a director at late of the project). Director should be the person who is full of passion and who can impress others. Even though I have passion, I am still too quiet and hesitate to let others follow my order. However, I think I can be a good ideas presenter. I would love to collect others’ ideas and suggest a common idea that all of us can accept.
