Creating and Collaborating in Devised Theater
In this workshop, full of comedy and collaboration, provides a set of disparate given circumstances and gives students limited time to create focused theatre with only one piece of short text. This leads to 2 groups coming together to collaborate and combine their 2 pieces of theatre into one. This workshop truly tests the imagination and collaborative abilities.
