This week we studied a different style of acting called Epic Theatre by Brecht; we also looked at the history of Brecht, while studying Brecht some how managed to full in to politics and what we think as teenagers and if we agree with society of today. This was to give an inside of our thoughts; in are groups we had to decide on a subject that annoyed us. when we started to talk about this within our groups it was hard to agree on one thing together so i said about GCSE; this was something we all agreed on. Due to the argument who is the government to put a grade on someone that works hard in life but not very acdimic like myself as during school i had 100% attence but yet didn't now work out with the grades i wanted and was meant to get as when it came to the exams i panic. The government cant even say that it effects you in life as it dose and we all know it dose as you have go to the grads to take the subjects you want to do in college and uni i was lucky enough to get mine, unlike some people i know.
During these two weeks we looked at a different typed of method acting; I was used for an example of an experience I had by this it help see how must shows like the actors to show a story and this was reacting the story that had happened at the weekend; it was story that i unsure to shear but I felt the group meaning class was close enough to hear and understand. The other was was to tell it how you would tell a friend by using hand movement, this can be used on stage to bring the aduince into the story or to give tgem more detail. I felt like some of this method got be used during my scene by the realness of when Anne has to hide the plague.
Also during these weeks i had to do some sheakspear research on script to fine the correct monuglog that suited me, I found this a strungle at first due to im not a fan after speaking with karen we found a speach that suited me but had to mix it us a bit but we can also link it to Anne; that helps the aduince feel more for her. Wheb reading the script its hard to found the rhythm so ive had to practice at home while bouncing and say the words slow this has helped abit but im still struggling with how to say some words to tell the truth, I just hope and guess that the more I work on it the better it will get.
Not only have I worked on mine scene I have also put some ideas forward for scene of Imogen and Alicia and how they discover each other within the wardrobe.

ReplyDeleteYou provide some good explanation and examples of the Brecht work we discussed and explored and thank you for sharing your story in rehearsals to create a witness account and a naturalistic account- this illustrated the point very well for the rest of the group to demonstrate the differences between ‘naturalistic and Brechtian’ styles. We will work further on the Shakespeare text. Well done
