Session 2

More Brecht .....

  • Gestus
  • Spass
  • Montage
Warm Up - Snobs and Servants

How does this reveal "Gestus"?

Gestus - A gesture, expression, word or phrase that reveals a characters attitude.

Examination of this idea by revisiting a moment from snobs and servants - which recreates a moment from Brecht's play The Caucasian Chalk Circle with the Governor's wife.

Playing snobs and servants during a performance also helps create "spass" - fun on stage - Why might this be important?

Montage

An idea borrowed from film.

The Mother
The Killer
The Mad Woman

create these images, put them in relation to each other what story do they tell? When re-ordering those images how might it change perception or understanding of that story?

What is political theatre?
