This course provides a practical introduction to collaborative created theatre. Students will be exposed to devised theatre theory and practices (from Peter Brook to Anne Bogart to current experimental theater troupes) to apply to a variety of methods, including group writing, physical composition, improvisation, design-based work, as well as ways of offering critical feedback on works-in-progress. Through this course experienced theatre makers will discover an alternate approach to the creation of work and a supplemental set of artistic tools; for novices it provides an accessible entry point into application of valuable “soft skills” theater offers such as collaboration, communication, problem solving and self-expression.
