STRUCTURING DEVISED PERFORMANCE – CPD VIDEO

Our popular ‘Structuring Devised Performance’ Course has made it to video!

Get your hands on the live stream of our 2023 webinar – edited with additional footage and complete with an instruction booklet to follow along the exercises, from the comfort of your own home. Join Jemma, Kylie and Georgie for a 90-minute video as we structure a ‘hypothetical’ play alongside the assistance of a team of drama teachers!

What will this webinar explore?

Do your students excel at devising material, but struggle with how to bring it together?  Do they lean into naturalistic scenes and find it difficult to see past the storyline? Tool up on how to steer them through our methodology, enabling your GCSE and A Level students to create thought-provoking, multi-faceted devised performance.

Purchase in our SHOP, download the booklet and follow the Vimeo link to stream directly.
