ABSTRACT
Creating texts through the agency and creativity of the performer is what characterises devising work. We noted at the outset of this study that the process of devising is especially important to women who are marginalised by dominant culture and theatre and therefore have most to gain from ‘authoring’ their own scripts. In Part II, we touched on a number of ways in which women can use devising techniques in relation to scripted work-for example, in order to challenge the authority of a canonical script, or to activate a feminist position within a dominant cultural form such as realism. Here, in Part III, however, I concentrate on non-scripted work: with feminist devising projects in which women create their own scripts.
