The Brecht Experience
A step by step, exercise driven workshop using the key elements of Brechtian technique to build towards creating epic theatre. For the first part of the workshop students explore exercises on:
– Narration
– Class
– V Effect
– Gestus
– Epization
– Freeze and Gestus
– Voicing the part
– Characterisation
For the second part of the workshop students use these exercises to create a unique piece of epic theatre either using text or stimulus material. This workshop sees students build an understanding of Brechtian theatre as they explore each exercise so, by the end of the workshop, they are working as Brechtian actors experimenting to create epic theatre.
