What to expect with this semester’s Devised Theatre Showcase
UFV’s Devised Theatre Showcase, No Strings Attached, is the culmination of six students and one professor brainstorming, improvising, and just testing out ideas for a whole semester to create a show that asks: what is creativity and how can we each be more creative in our everyday lives? I interviewed two of the students from the THEA 452 class, Trevor Marsh and Stefan Boekhorst, to get an inside look on what it was like producing and acting in an online theatre production starring sock puppets.
The devised theatre production was the product of two theatre courses. One of these was THEA 352: Devised Theatre I, which ran in the Fall 2020 semester and whose showcase revolved around the themes of Zoom, COVID-19, and climate change. This semester’s THEA 452: Devised Theatre II consists of the same six students and professor Parjad Sharifi, and it boasts a much more uplifting showcase than last semester. Devised theatre
