It\u2019s where the world of a show &#8211; characters, style, story &#8211; is explored. It provides space to experiment with ideas and adopt blue-sky thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Although they provide great opportunities to play, R&amp;Ds can be a strange experience for actors who are used to rigid rehearsals and sticking to a script.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to discover insights into the R&amp;D process, where I\u2019ve drawn from my experiences as an actor and as a writer. I also include contributions from Kat Joyce, co-artistic director of physical theatre ensemble Tangled Feet, to glean her perspective on an actor\u2019s role in an R&amp;D.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Every R&amp;D is Different<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If the project is writer-led, actors might be asked to interrogate a script whereas, for a process that centres on physical theatre, the approach might be to devise around research.<\/p>\n<p>Tangled Feet have a performer or performer-director led process and they devise. \u201cThere\u2019s an ethos of collaborative authorship,\u201d explains Kat, \u201cwhich underpins the work we make and how we make it. There\u2019s very much a sense in the room of the performers having a very strong voice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The practical activities within an R&amp;D are also rich and varied. \u201cAt the beginning it\u2019s about really exploring, chucking everything at the wall and seeing what sticks,\u201d explains Kat. \u201cThat can be a really exciting process &#8211; and really mystifying and confusing! We can be playing with balloons in the morning and researching the banking crisis in the afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Speak Up<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cPerformers in their first few years out of training always seem surprised that we genuinely want them to contribute,\u201d says Kat, \u201cA lot of performers get told you have to be a blank canvas. We try to get past that and see the actual person. If we\u2019ve got a performer in an R&amp;D, it\u2019s because we think they bring something that\u2019s going to be really useful in that show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As a writer, I welcome questions and suggestions from actors. Sometimes writers lose perspective if they\u2019ve sat with a script for a while so an actor\u2019s contribution can be useful in identifying areas where further development is needed.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Be Resilient<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In an R&amp;D the creative team is figuring out the piece together. So, by all means, ask questions, but accept that they might not be answered straight away!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn ability to trust in the process is really important,\u201d says Kat. \u201cSometimes we feel really stupid or we do things that don\u2019t lead anywhere productive. Other times we\u2019ll find something really magic. We often say it\u2019s about making a jigsaw puzzle in the dark, pulling on different pieces.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Be Generous<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Actors are often encouraged to see each other as the competition but this is destructive to collaboration. Working together means offering opportunities to your colleagues, like providing openings during an improvisation, rather than showcasing your talent and shoehorning your suggestions in.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Take Responsibility<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you draw on personal experiences to relate to the themes of the piece you\u2019re developing, ensure that you take care of yourself emotionally with what you choose to share. Whilst the room should be a safe space for you to be vulnerable, it isn\u2019t a substitute for therapy.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Build Relationships<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Don\u2019t view the R&amp;D as an isolated project, but rather as an opportunity to make long-term connections. \u201cWe go into a relationship with a performer thinking that we want to work with you for the next ten years, not just that we want to work with you on this show,\u201d says Kat.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>When It\u2019s Over<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>A harsh reality of the R&amp;D process is that sometimes an actor is not brought on board when the show goes into production. This occurs for various reasons: maybe it was discovered during the R&amp;D that a performer with a very particular skill set is needed, one that a current collaborator doesn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n<p>For Tangled Feet, this situation is extremely rare, due to the collaborative way they create. As Kat states \u201cI want to make the kind of work where people don\u2019t feel disposable and where performers are such an integral part of the process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tangledfeet.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tangled Feet<\/a>\u00a0is a physical theatre ensemble who have been making shows together for 18 years.
