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.
