WCS Devised Composition Studio

---

Join us for Theatre of Defiance: Banned Books, a dynamic, ensemble-driven class where you’ll collaborate to transform censored texts into powerful, living theatre. In this class, we’ll utilize Anne Bogart's composition method, focusing on source work collection and dynamic creation, to explore themes of resistance, freedom of expression, and the role of art in social change.

Through these devised composition techniques, you’ll adapt books banned by the government into bold theatrical works that challenge censorship and spark conversation. This is more than just an acting or directing class—it’s a chance to bring silenced narratives to life. Using collaborative improvisation, creative exploration, and the integration of design elements, you’ll contribute to crafting an original performance that speaks to the power of theatre in times of repression. By the end of the course, you’ll present a powerful piece that resists censorship and amplifies voices that demand to be heard.
