Theatre in Education

Today we looked at creating a piece of game show to try and add to the audience interaction idea. We looked at creating a slight conflict between the two step-brothers to try and get the audience involved more in the performance so as to keep them engaged. Using the ideas of Brecht we tried to make sure that during this section the audience wouldn't become emotionally attached to the characters or believe they were watching real life.







We decided to turn the conflict into a game show, that sticking with Brecht's conventions, broke the fourth wall and allowed the audience to participate. This game show would be over the top and exaggerated keeping in mind the young audience that would be watching the performance. This will also bring in the TIE aspects as it allows the young audience to take part in the performance, and have a say in the action.
