This workshop focuses on the vital role of play in the collaborative process of devising theatre. Play is a powerful and essential tool for generating creative ideas, making the hard work of collaboration feel effortless and enjoyable. Participants will delve into various aspects of play, including conscious and unconscious play, finding and revealing the game, and how to open up texts and situations through playful exploration.
Throughout the session, participants will learn techniques to harness the discipline of play, ensuring a continuous flow of ideas and a dynamic collaborative environment. This workshop is ideal for theatre practitioners who wish to enhance their devising process by integrating play into their creative toolkit.
You can participate in both John Wright’s workshop at LPS, Play and Pleasure Principle with Going Beyond Yourself in October for a 6 day course ticket.
