Production Details:
Devised Theatre is a process where participants work collaboratively alongside the director to construct the performance. This includes searching for and identifying the musical material in order to choose personally igniting content for the participant that fits and is relevant to the theme of the production. All of the individual pieces/songs will be woven together into an online 60-minute live concert via Zoom.
Devised Theatre is a fluid process and can also be a deeply revelatory experience for a participant. Participants with a background in Musical Theatre and Acting are strongly encouraged to submit. Each participant will have one-on-one work time with the director both to rehearse the music and address the thematic core/story within the chosen piece. The director will assist in procuring the necessary backing track/accompaniment for the participant, and will also curate the track to fit the needs of the participant. The participants, working closely with the director, will also be constructing their performance to include appropriate costuming/make-up and scene set-up/framing.
