Explore how ideas become performance and discover approaches to generating material without starting from a script. Who could benefit from this course? This workshop is ideal for actors, directors, writers, performers, and theatre-makers who are interested in creating original work. Whether you're completely new to devising or looking to refresh your practice, the session offers a welcoming introduction to a range of creative approaches. Participants from different artistic backgrounds are welcome, including those working in theatre, live art, film, puppetry, or interdisciplinary performance.

Through guided exercises, improvisation, and collaborative tasks, participants will explore a range of entry points into devising. The emphasis is on generating material through play, curiosity, and discovering approaches that can inspire future projects and creative collaborations. What do you gain? An accessible, low-pressure introduction to devised theatre-making. Practical exercises and techniques for generating creative material that you can continue exploring in your own work.
