So What is Devised Theatre Anyway (and Why do I Love it So Much)?
I’ve been thinking a great deal about different forms of theatre lately and there’s one that I can’t get out of my head. Theatre is, by its nature, collaborative. That’s what I really love about it. It’s what makes the art form so alive. When an author writes a book, there’s usually only one interpretation of the text: the reader. Of course, there’s input from the editors, the publishers, etc., but in the actual ingestion of the art it goes from the words that were written by the creator straight into the mind of the reader and that reader interprets the story.
