Three weeks to move from impulse to invention.
Creating devised performance requires curiosity, courage, and the willingness to take risks. Within a supportive and collaborative environment, participants in this course will experiment with both physical and conceptual approaches to making original work. Grounded in established techniques but aimed at individual discovery, the course offers practical tools for exploring presence, space, and time in a performance context. It also addresses the simple but profound challenge of how to start, how to actually move from an idea to a working concept, by offering dramaturgical pathways into the creative process. Through the practice of trial and error, artists will cultivate the confidence and freedom needed to discover and share their own authentic artistic voice.
This is an intensive laboratory for directors, performers, and performance makers seeking to expand their devised practice with an emphasis on conceptual, physical, and ensemble-based work.
