Common Questions
What does devised theatre mean?
Devised theatre is original performance made through a collaborative process. Participants generate ideas, explore scenes, and shape the material together, rather than beginning only with a completed script.
Does my student need theatre experience?
Many theatre programs welcome beginners as well as students with performance experience. Contact Tulsa Story Lab to ask about current classes and which option may suit your student's interests and experience.
What skills can students practice?
Students may practice improvisation, storytelling, stage presence, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. The specific activities depend on the class and the work the group is developing.
How can I find out about classes?
Reach out to Tulsa Story Lab to ask about available classes, enrollment, age groups, and schedules. The team can share current details and help you identify an appropriate next step.
What should students bring to class?
Requirements can vary by class. Ask Tulsa Story Lab what students should bring, and plan on clothing that allows comfortable movement unless the school provides different guidance.
