From 2010, new keyword of so-called devising theatre in the Korean performing arts scene has emerged. The backdrop is the antipathy to the hierarchical creative environment, the search for a language that can reflect increasingly complex societies, and the influx of new performances from abroad. Of course, devising theatre can be realized in a wide variety of forms in the actual field, so it cannot be defined as one methodology. But commonly all these various forms of the attempts aim to create a democratic relationship among participants, and process-centered breakthrough in the hierarchy of creative materials such as texts, sounds. light and human body. In 2017, Creative VaQi seeks to find new keyword called 'Reality of Division in Korean Peninsula' and to develop it into performance languages experimenting inter-disciplinary devising methodology. The company conducted a walking trip alongside the division line(300km) and tried to achieve the landscape and traces of division. After the walking, they created a specific form and performing contents called "Walking Holiday" out of their experiences. In this thesis, I will analyze the whole process of the devising "Walking Holiday" and examine what kind of result it led to. Furthermore, I, as the director of "Walking Holiday" will continue to discuss new possibilities and limitations of devising theatre methods that the company tries and aim at this time.
