Devised theatre (also called collaborative creation, particularly in the United States 〔 〕) is a form of theatre where the script originates not from a writer or writers, but from collaborative, usually improvisatory, work by a group of people (usually, but not necessarily, the performers). This is similar to commedia dell'arte and street theatre such as busking. It is some times similar to improvisational theatre but by the time a devised piece presents itself to the public, it usually has a fixed form: the improvisation is confined to the creation process, and either a writer, a director, or the performers themselves, will have decided exactly what is to be included and the running sequence. ==Devising methods== It is very hard to pin down exact methods for devising as every group of collaborators will have different ways of approaching the creative process. One very common method is to begin by focusing on form, and then extract thematic ideas and work with them retrospectively. Collaborators often use games as a starting point. What method the collaborators will use depends a lot on the style of the performance group. For instance, a group who makes naturalistic theatre may start with building characters and then gradually begin to build narrative strands together out of character-based improvisational interaction. A group of a more choreographic nature would be more likely to start with improvisation using space and/or contact improvisation. In addition to a thematic element retrospectively applied to the material being generated, it is also common for the sequence of the material to be retrospective too. This, however, as with most elements of devising, varies depending on the group in question. Whether the group includes a director or not will also affect the nature of the process. With a director, the performers will create a lot of material, but without any knowledge of how the director will decide to piece it all together until quite late in the process. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「devised theatre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
