Amplify & Ignite: Creative Practice in and With Communities

Introduction to the piece and role of participants Practical Devising Exercises Warm-up Activity: Group movement or physical improvisation Story Creation: Participants will split into small groups and use improvisational techniques to explore themes, characters, or situations. Each group will then present a short piece of improvisation based on these ideas. Improvisation with Structure: Introduce a simple prompt or structure, such as a specific location, object, or relationship, and have groups devise short scenes within those parameters. Share out: Participants will share their short pieces Discussion and Reflection: How did the devised pieces evolve? What surprised the group in the process? Open Q&A where participants share their own experiences with devising or ask for advice on specific challenges.
