Devising Theatre and Performance is a hands-on guide for artists,
students and teachers of performance at any stage of their
practice. It offers a wide range of creative prompts and pathways
enriched with critical thinking tools and questions, a hybrid
approach Hill and Paris call 'Curious Methods'. This is a welcome
addition to the field, created and curated by two experienced
artists who have operated at the international interface of
academia and professional practice for over three decades. The
collection is packed with fun, creative, thoughtful exercises
distilled from over twenty years of running interdisciplinary
artist workshops and teaching both devising and performance making.
As well providing numerous exercises and suggestions for devising,
composing and editing original works, this book offers tools for
giving and receiving feedback, critical reflection and framing
artistic work within academic research contexts. Readers can choose
to dip in and out, to follow the book as a course or to work
section by section, focusing on organizing principles such as
working from the body, working with site, working with objects or
performance activism. The book includes a detailed production
workbook and a practice-based research workbook you can tailor to
your own projects. The 'Curious Methods' approach encourages users
to take the time and space their practice deserves while offering
tools, nourishment and encouragement and inviting them to take
risks beyond their comfort zones. The exercises are carefully
described so that they can easily be tested out by readers, and are
well contextualized in relation to vivid examples from contemporary
performance practice and relevant political contexts. This
compelling approach goes beyond many other books on theatre
devising, which merely provide performance recipes; they do so by
repeatedly highlighting the vital cultural relevance and potential
personal impact of the experiments that they invite us to
undertake. The primary audience for this important new book will be
academics, instructors and students in courses on devised theatre,
improvisation, performance art, experimental performance and
practice-based research. It will be essential for classroom use,
for students of theatre and performance and live art -
undergraduate, postgraduate and Ph.D., teachers and all those
needing strategies for getting started. It will also appeal to
readers from the broader arts, humanities and social sciences who
are seeking resources for integrating creative methods into their
research.
