This session is based around devising non-naturalistic drama, students receive a bag of drama devices/techniques, which I refer to as ingredients (reinforcing the theme), which they then have to apply to their devising process.
This session has been devised for KS3 year nine (upper four), but can be delivered to level three students on courses such as OCR/BTEC Diploma’s in Performing Arts. I suggest, if you do deliver this at level three, extend the main activity, by asking students to devise with a specific practitioner in mind, for example, Artaud or Brecht.
To reinforce the course level you could also ask they students to write an artist intentions document or proposal, as if they were presenting their ideas to potential funders.
I’ve had lots of fun with this lesson, as has my students. Enjoy it, and don’t take it too serious!
