Rezumat

Devised performances permit informality and, - unrestricted, absolute freedom of experiencing the subsistence of improvisation equally for the director, actor and participant. In our (Transylvanian) theatrical world, the director usually dominates the whole creative process. His/Her working methods based on improvisation, acting techniques, situations, ideas offer vast opportunities to express something through a collaborative process or a play. In the case of a devised performance or a devised working process, the director is placed on an imaginary line in collaboration with his/her team or company. He/She can appear either as a director, text writer, stage designer, sound and lightning supervisor, or all of them at the same time. Can devised theatre and its specific working processes truly, totally weaken this kind of “leadership”, or is it a subtle camouflage, trying to express something through a “collaborative process”? This study presents how devised theatre is practicable through a non - prescribed formula.
