Practical Tools for Ensemble Devising *In-Person* *NEW*

This class is for theatre artists interested in creating live performances. Students will collectively devise a show from scratch. Employing improvisation, spatial ingenuity, auto-writing, music, soundscapes, scenography, and personal resources (skills, languages, memory, etc.), actors become authors solving practical problems on their feet while focusing on process over product, group over individual. Work-in-progress will be shared at regular intervals for audience feedback. Instructor: Philip Euling
