ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Celebration Barn and D/E proudly present: DEVISING WITHOUT LIMITS
Discover new creative pathways in this open-ended exploration of devised theater-making.
With an emphasis on experimentation, improvisation, and collaboration, students will generate new work—or rebuild previous work—based on prompts designed to push their creative boundaries.
Inspired by Elevator Repair Service, these prompts encourage artists to use their entire environment as a stage and to draw on a wide range of source material, from the mundane to the profound.
Rather than work toward a preconceived finished product, artists will develop new strategies to help them face down or embrace the chaos of generating something intended for an audience.
