Explore the world of Devised Theater, where the art of collaboration transforms personal stories into performances. This course is open to students from Drama, Mannes, and Jazz, fostering an environment for cross-disciplinary creativity and innovation. Through hands-on exploration of investigative, interactive, and immersive theater practices, you will embark on a journey of self-discovery and artistic expression. Together with your peers, you will develop a full-length script that reflects your collective narratives, culminating in a collaborative reading at the end of the semester. You will start with a blank canvas, nurturing your ideas from inception to a complete play through collective engagement and dialogue. Drama students will use musical compositions as inspiration, while those from Jazz and Manes will respond creatively to written scenes, ensuring a rich exchange of artistic perspectives. Throughout the semester, you will cultivate original performance pieces while honing your analytical skills to shape and present your work effectively.
