Devised theatre-making allows for a unique creative expression that reflects the collective voice and the unique strength of the individual artists. The divising methodology led by Farm Arts Collective artistic director, Tannis Kowalchuk invites the performer to be a creator, resulting in an unique process that engages the actors’ imagination, voice, body, writing skills and design concepts. Devised theatre creates incredibly original, moving, and relevent theatre.
