Devised theatre

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Devised theatre (also called collaborative creation, particularly in the United States) is a form of theatre where the script originates not from a writer or writers, but from collaborative, usually improvisatory, work by a group of people (usually, but not necessarily, the performers).

It is different from improvisational theatre in that by the time the production is presented to the public, it generally has a fixed form: the improvisation is confined to the creation process, and either a writer, a director, or the performers themselves, will have decided exactly what is to be included and the running sequence.
