Devising Coach and Media Director
DEVISING
Amanda's interest in devising began her research into vernacular narrative and performance studies with everyday storytellers. She has worked with adults and youth to create both fictional and non-fictional collaborative performative narratives. Her work explores the ability for diverse participants to create a singular narrative that encourages open and active listening, constructive criticism, and challenges conventional notions of storytelling by incorporating multimodal sensory experiences and exploring non-linear storytelling options. Her work in devising has created site-specific theatre, addressed specific community needs, called for activism, and created a space for everyday storytellers to come together.
