Brecht

Today we looked at brecht and his style of theatre, and how it contrasted with Stanislavsky's own style and teaching. We looked at trying out his methods and techniques to have a better understanding. We created a scene using naturalistic movements and Stanislavsky's style of naturalism. We then created a new scene using Brecht's audience involvement techniques. The video shows this in action




I personally enjoy Brecht's techniques of making the audience a part of the performance as it allows me to easily create and portray a message that would be much harder to communicate using Stanislavsky's techniques. This means that for me I would definitely try and use Brecht's breaking of the fourth wall to keep the audiences on their toes and try and get them to be involved.
