The Devised Theatre Showcase is the final project presented by UFV Theatre’s fourth year Devised Theatre class, and is a chance for students to apply everything they have learned in the course.
No Strings Attached is a devised theatre project created by six UFV Theatre student devisers. The group has exercised contemporary devising methods in the Devised Theatre class to develop this project collaboratively as an evening talk show, with a series of episodes and segments, examining creativity from real interviews. Two sock puppet hosts bring in live acting members from their own homes for interviews, with talk show games focused on creativity. The devisers will bring wit and comedy, and ask audience members to live free and creative with no strings attached, like sock puppets.
UFV students include Isabella Russell, Stefan Boekhorst, Keegan Zaporozan, Mattea Li, Bethan Griffiths and Trevor Marsh, led by UFV faculty member Parjad Sharifi.
Performances: Thurs and Fri, April 8 & 9 at 7 pm & Sat, April 10 at 4 pm.
Post-performance talkbacks will occur after every show, which promise to enhance audience
members’ understanding of the performance.
Performances will be held live via Zoom and are free of charge.
