Devising Devising with Brett Dahl

Devising Devising is a course for devising work from the ground up.

Interested in movement, writing or theatre creation? This is the workshop for you!

In this workshop, we will be building scores or text from simple exercises that are performer generated - no experience necessary.

Please wear movement-friendly clothes and bring materials to write (paper/pen).

Tickets are Pay-What-You-Can. Suggested Workshop Price $20

At Azimuth Theatre, we believe art should be accessible to all, regardless of financial circumstances. That’s why all of our tickets are based on a Pay-What-You-Can model. We understand that everyone’s situation is different, so we leave it up to you to determine the value of your experience.

While we suggest a ticket price to help cover production costs and support our artists, we understand that this may not be feasible for everyone. Whether you can give more or less, what matters most to us is that you join us in experiencing the magic of theatre together. No matter the amount, your contribution is valued and appreciated. Your support enables us to create meaningful connections, spark important conversations, and inspire change through the power of storytelling.
