There are many ways to begin the devising process of a new community theatre performance. In this 8min video, we'll show you how to create theatre based on important issues.

An issue may be something that impacts the local community, wider society, or the personal experience of a community performer.

These stories can be extremely powerful, but require careful consideration in the devising process.

We hope you find this explanation useful, and if you have any questions or comments about our work and our devising process, drop us a message!
