“I am so looking forward to the opportunity to devise another original piece with community talent around relevant themes. Theatre is a powerful vehicle and WAM embraces and provides a platform for the unique and courageous voices that emerge out of the Ensemble. It is thrilling to be witness to such empowerment.”

– Amy Brentano, WAM Theatre Teaching Artist

Devised theatre is an empowering collaborative process where an ensemble uses a variety of techniques– writing, improvisation, games, movement, brainstorming, and more– to create original performance material. The criteria for participation is enthusiasm and the creative impulse to voice feelings and ideas through multiple forms of artistic expression.
