Devising Workshop with Dan Pengelly

Turn great ideas into great theatre in this practical, hands-on 90-minute devising workshop.

After years of having ideas for shows but never finding the time to sit down and write them, Dan began using his improvisation skills to devise stories in the rehearsal room. This practical workshop will guide participants through techniques and craft skills for collaboratively creating narrative-based theatre.
