In this workshop the Finnish performance company Oblivia share their collective devising practice »Do What You Saw«. It is a playful way of devising material for performances. We start with a body- and voice warm up and continue with the »Do What You Saw« method where we create material to be used in a big impro at the end.

The »Do What You Saw« method has been developed by Oblivias founding members Timo Fredriksson, Anna Krzystek and Annika Tudeer, over twenty years of collective work. During the workshop, the participants create an abundance of material to use. The workshop invites the participants to experience ways to distill and share ideas into action and text. They will encounter ways of working with subtlety, humour, presence and timing.
