Devising is when everyone on set comes together to make the play. There isn’t a target director, all the actors and other people on set work together to contribute ideas and develop the play. This is supposed to be a creative process to make something completely new.
As Frantic Assembly Theatre company has said;
“Our distinct creative approach has influenced contemporary theatre-making and foregrounded the use of movement directors and choreographers in new dramatic works. It has inspired writers to embrace new creative processes and opened up actors and dancers to new techniques. This is a matter of great pride as we continue to do something different and to do it differently”
