Theater 293B - S-Brown Paper Studio

Devised Theater is a term for performance work created collectively by an ensemble and that often addresses social, political or humanitarian issues. Brown Paper Studio was developed in post-apartheid South Africa to express young people's vision for their newly democratic country. The process combines original and selected text, music, movement, visual media and improvisation in a creative style similar to sampling in hip-hop. Course participants will learn the basics of Brown Paper Studio, conduct research into the practice of devised theater and create an original piece for an invited audience.

Open to Theater majors only.
