Jen,
We created our last show at Improbable: Panic using open space and run
a lot of our rehearsals in this way now. We just did two days on a new
project last week with just three of us. Roughly forty sessions.
Great to hear Stella's using OS for her piece. She also used OS to
write one of her Novels!

Has anyone ever used OS as a tool for creating a piece of theatre? I
spent some glorious time today with about 30 actors, directors,
musicians, designers and writers, using open space to explore and
devise a piece of storytelling.
We don’t yet know if it will continue to involve all of us, or maybe
just a few. Next Saturday we have another session, and some people
will be the same, and some will be new, and some from today will not
be there next time.
We don’t know if it will end up being theatre, or a novel, or a
short story, or all of those things.
It was instigated by a brilliant writer/performer/director (Phelim &
Matilda know her well!) and many of us have multiple skills like
that. What I loved was that it didn’t matter what we all do: we all
did everything today. I got to play actor games that I don’t ever
get to play, and usually terrify me, but today I enjoyed them as
part of the wide creative process – and I knew that the Law of Two
Feet would allow me to stop anytime I wanted. So I was free to carry
on!
I loved the way the principles of Open Space allowed for the seed of
an idea to be exploded into all manner of marvellous imaginings. Has
anyone else ever experienced such a thing, or heard about it?
Also, my first time running an OS conference is this coming week,
Tuesday - Thursday! Very excited :-)
