Do you want to create your own theatrical stories on stage? The Devising Original Theatre Springfield’s Young Artist Intensive has been created just for you! In one week, we will take your ideas from first glimmer to full production. We will explore how to tell stories through movement, words, sound, lighting, and puppetry.
