Yes, I consider it devised theatre from primary source material. While you are working with verbatim text, the fact that it must be curated/created into script form and staged, I would still consider it a form of devising. I have Living Newspaper curriculum if you wanna take a look?

Asking those with more Theatre of the Oppressed and/or Devised Theatre knowledge than I: Would you consider Augusto Boal's Newspaper Theatre a form of Devised Theatre? Why or why not?
