Discussing The Collaborative Creation Of Theatre

Response to "Robert Lepage: MIT Student Workshop, Spring 2012"

It was interesting to see that the start of everything was one stimulus which was cards. Stimulus has to be the starting point of every creation, and thought this video I learnt that the theme is never the starting point of something but you can connect the stimulus to the theme. 

Through playing cards the group cam up with this work of art that you can see in the background of the above picture. Before doing anything they just played cards for a while then they all contributed to the creation of art in the background. Everyone interrupted what they got from the game into picture. Through doing this the pictures drawn could be turned into a performance that includes something from everyone.

Response to "Engine 28 - Theatre professionals on 'devised' theatre"

Devised theatre is working with a group, devised theatre is also known as collaborative theatre, in some cases devised theatre is done with only one person. Devised theatre is normally when the script comes from collaborative working. I was interested when the lady said that it is very common in younger years for groups to use this form of theatre, also I found it interesting to hear that Shakespeare also used devised theatre.
