Collaborative Process

Catalog description

Study of the integration and application of principles of theatre col- laboration. Students work collaboratively across disciplines to develop approaches to theatre and new ways of storytelling. Theatre artists work in groups to generate original concepts, ideas, images, texts, and material in a workshop environment. These working groups create projects over the course of the semester which are shown in informal presentations. The emphasis is on process, not product—devising an interdisciplinary performance requires a keen focus on combining creative invention with a rigorous structure of concept development—both of which are explored. Covers learning and application of creative methodologies for the theatre artist.
