I suppose, for me, devised theatre represents a challenge. Create something out of apparent nothing. Of course, the sources devised companies use aren't nothing; theatre is devised from meaningful intersections of objects, art, ideas and experiences. So perhaps a better definition would be revealing something out of nothing. It is the tapping into the inherent creativity of the mind and looking for connections. This element of looking rather than hands-on creating is at times stressful for me, and will be a challenge I will have to keep in mind throughout this process. However, there is also an excitement in allowing the piece to create itself that I believe is also a defining characteristic of devised theatre.
