Devised Theatre Workshop
Devised theatre is a form of theatre where the script originates not from a writer or writers, but from collaborative, usually improvisatory, work by a group of people (usually, but not necessarily, the performers.
Visiting Artist Leo Gene Peters will lead a workshop in creating original work with a collaborative group process. This workshop will teach a flexible process for creating new work that challenges the individual artists to connect with the questions they have about the world and utilize those questions to create imaginative, playful and transformative theatre. Through the workshop, participants will learn several techniques and skills for unearthing their own intuition; they will practice and grow their listening, curiosity, imagination, leadership, and creativity while exploring various techniques and methodologies for creating new performance. They will explore the purpose of performance in their own lives and the lives of their community and search for ways to make that purpose more vital, relevant and crucial to the world.
The workshop takes place over four consecutive evenings: Sunday August 12 through Wednesday, August 15 from 7:30-10:30PM at Cue Productions Live, 1835 Colfax St., Concord, CA 94520 (two blocks from Concord BART). Total cost is $200 for the four-session workshop.
