Overview
"Theatre for the Very Young (TVY) is a growing artform under the larger umbrella of Theatre for Young Audiences (TYA) that offers opportunities for emerging artists to engage in embodied theatremaking. This thesis delves into how TVY new work development processes offer alternative ways of approaching original theatrical experiences. Using reflective practitioner journals and participant surveys to assess how emerging artists engage in interdisciplinary TVY artmaking, this thesis highlights how the use of anti-oppressive practice in the devising room contributes to delight and joy in theatremaking. Applying the PaperBoats Principles to the analysis of a two-day TVY devising workshop, TVY devising practice is connected to participants' experience engaging in an interdisciplinary artform. The findings of this thesis invite further investigation into the inclusion of TVY in theatremaking curricula for emerging artists." -- Abstract
