Devised Theatre Lab: Story-Making & Storytelling

Devised Theatre Lab: Story-Making & Storytelling

October 4, 5:00 pm, Coker PAC – Black Box Theatre, Free

The McCall School’s Devised Theatre Lab considers the stories we tell about ourselves – whether on stage, throughout our workday, in the classroom, or on the sports field? Texts, images, and objects serve as prompts to anchor this creative work and collaborative thinking. The results are short-form stories created by teams of students from across Coker’s campus.

Guest artist Lillian White guides participants through the limitless world of devised theatre with a focus on story-making and storytelling. Lillian White is a bilingual (Spanish/English) creative producer and community-engaged performance artist. Though raised on a chicken farm in Darlington, SC, her works spanning themes of rurality to queerness, have been performed by companies in New York City, Philadelphia, and Lima, Peru, where for six years she lived and collaborated with South American theatre artists.

Join us for the Devised Theatre Lab’s culminating storytelling event on Sunday, October 4th, 5-6 PM in the Black Box Theatre.
