Directing for Devised Theatre

Abstract

In this thesis I will reflect on my creative journey of being a director for groups working with Devised Theatre. From the first attempts at creating a play and the awareness of the satisfaction I feel during the creation process, to the years at ‘TeArt’ when I learned the hard way what it means to be a director in a group of equals; On my studies in two schools, DAMU and RESAD, and what I learned there improving my skills, to the latest project in which I believe I put all the knowledge I acquired into practice. A reflection that juxtaposes theories on Devised Theatre and Collaborative Creation with my own personal experiences.
