Overview
The intensive, 7-hour Masterclass in Devising Theatre has been designed as a practical exploration of different techniques to find new stories and devise adaptations. The short course will help you develop your improvisation, ensemble and ‘storymaking’ skills. Learning will take place in a playful environment where you can participate in improvisatory theatre games and narrative driven exercises to tease out the stories you want to tell.
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School offers a fun and nurturing environment in which to pursue your creative ambitions. The support and feedback available from your tutor will help you develop your natural talents and confidence in theatre acting.
