Devising and Physical Theatre mind maps

These community-made maps offer different ways into a piece of theatre. Initial Ideas brings together techniques a group could use, including freeze frames and chair duets. Group 2 Performance Plan organizes a plot around scenes and monologues. XX/XY describes an opening scene with performers and torches.

Start with Initial Ideas if you want to see how techniques can be gathered before a performance takes shape. Then look at Group 2 Performance Plan to see how a group organized its plot. Compare the branches and consider how the ideas relate to each other.

Study with a map

Read a branch, then cover it and try to recall its main points. Use Rehearsal Techniques to practice describing how face, voice and body can distinguish characters. When you want a different way to check your recall, switch to flashcards on the unit page. Choose a map and follow an idea from one branch to another.
