Devising Abstract/physical Theatre
Description
Step into the world of abstract theatre where the possibilities are endless and creativity knows no bounds! In this dynamic session, your students will explore the essentials of abstract performance, discovering how to weave unconventional techniques into any theatrical piece with confidence and flair.
This workshop opens up a world of inspiration, guiding students on how to harness unique stimuli, incorporate evocative music, and devise powerful movement. By using professional methods and styles, students will gain hands-on experience with industry-proven techniques.
Students will also learn how to maximize minimal resources through the power of voice and body, offering inventive solutions for low-budget performances and creative ways to tackle challenges on stage.
Curriculum
We will explore contrasting devising processes and the techniques used within to see how different approaches can alter the feeling and intention of performance. We will create a safe space for the students to trial and develop their theatre pieces, offer a range of new tools that will aid the creation of theatre, and give additional guidance on explaining the theory behind it which can be used further for their logbooks.
