"devised theater" の定義と意味

What is "devised theater"?

Devised theater is a style of performance where the script and overall production are created collaboratively by the performers, directors, and often other creative team members, rather than being based on a pre-existing script. The process typically involves improvisation, workshops, and brainstorming sessions to generate material and develop the narrative. This collaborative approach allows for a more organic and experimental creation of the performance, often resulting in a unique and innovative production. The goal of devised theater is to explore new ideas and perspectives through a collective creative process, leading to a performance that reflects the contributions and vision of the entire team.
