\nABOUT THE SHOW: \;The Raue Center School for the Arts production of The Disturbing
\nDisappearance of St. Nicholas makes its world premiere December 1-3. What would
\nhappen if Santa Claus abandoned the North Pole? When a group of elves discover
\nSanta&rsquo\;s famous red suit strewn across a chair\, hilarious and heart touching chaos
\nensues as each elf embarks on a journey of self-discovery that helps them better
\nunderstand the spirit of Christmas. This 60-minute devised piece of theatre will cause
\nimmense joy and move audience members through some of your favorite holiday music
\nand the writing of this new work written by the students of the RCSA.
\n
\nABOUT DEVISED THEATRE: \;Devised Theatre is loosely defined as the process of
\ncollaboratively creating a new work without a pre-existing script wherein the
\ncollaborators are also the performers. In the standard theatre model\, a single playwright
\nwrites the text and then a director casts actors and selects designers to interpret that
\ntext\, resulting in a theatre production. With Devised Theatre\, however\, the collective
\nartists begin without a script. A devised piece of theatre can literally start with anything:
\na painting\, a song\, a real-life event\, a novel to adapt\, non-fiction interviews\, a
\nphotograph\, poetry\, etc. Multiple ways to devise exist. This process requires great
\ncreativity\, the need to work collaboratively\, and the ability to create/learn new material to
\nmount a world premiere production.
