Description

Devised Theater's Collaborative Performance Making Masterpieces from Collective Concepts by Telory D. Arendell explores the history and impact of devised theatre practice. From its roots in Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop to contemporary collaborations, this book delves into the evolution of devised theatre as a tool for social practice. Arendell examines key examples of devised theatre, including works by Goat Island, Pig Iron Theater Company, The Riot Group, and Theatre of Witness. These case studies demonstrate how devised theatre has been used to create complex physical scripts, explore themes of identity and politics, and develop innovative pedagogical platforms. The book also features a foreword by Allen J. Kuharski and three devised plays by participating companies. With its unique blend of history, analysis, and practical examples, Devised Theater's Collaborative Performance Making Masterpieces from Collective Concepts offers a valuable resource for artists, educators, and anyone interested in the world of devised theatre.
