Devised Work
Creating “Devised” Work
Creating "devised" work is always a fascinating ride because it is literally crafted as we go by the students/cast who makeup the ensemble. Here I had the task of devising a theatre piece exploring empathy and negotiation skills with middle school students for a project with Broadway Center for the Performing Arts.
“Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
I worked within a rehearsal model called Rasaboxes adding neutral mask work as an additional theatrical device. It was very rewarding work.
The Cast.
The cast self-titled their work Two Roads Diverged and I Took the Empathetic Path.
I presented an academic paper on this work at the Mid America Theatre Conference, March 2014, in Cleveland.
