Inhaltsangabe:

Devising in Process examines the creative processes of eight theatre companies making devising-based performances. Companies covered include: - The People Show - Station House Opera - Shunt - The Red Room - Faulty Optic Theatre of Animation - theatre O - Gecko - Third Angel Authors were granted unusual access to the rehearsal room, enabling them to provide unique insights into how ideas evolve and develop, how strategies and methods are applied and how roles and relationships are structured. Covering a broad range of styles, the collection explores physical theatre, political theatre, puppetry, live art, new writing and performance with new technology. Accessibly framed, the book includes a comprehensive introduction which highlights similarities and differences in approach, examines the impact of economic and cultural factors and explores how definitions of devised theatre are changing and developing. This eye-opening collection will be important reading for students and practitioners interested in exploring 21st century devising processes.
