Unit 33- original performance

 Our theme that we chose as a group was ethical the reason that we decided in this theme is because we as a group had some great ideas for one of the themes, we wanted to be different and we knew that everyone would choose one of the obvious ones.

We first thought about how we would have our opening formation so we decided to stand in a circle to make the audience question on what we were thinking and looking at. In our workshop in which we had with the company Gecko a few months ago we liked the idea of someone making a clap sound with their hands and everyone else's attention on stage being dragged to it and look...

  Frantic Assembly From a reckless leap into the unknown 25 years ago, Frantic Assembly has developed into one of the UK's most successful and best loved theatre companies. Our ambition is that we continue to learn and remain committed to making brave and bold theatre. At times it is physically dynamic and brutal. At others it's proudly tender and fragile. Brecht Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) was one of the twentieth century's most influential theatre practitioners. He questioned how spectators reacted to drama instead of of being carried away by the plot or connecting with emotionally complex characters. Brecht wanted the audience to consider the societal challenges encountered by playwriters in their work. His main three technique's included the V-effect, Historicization and  Gestures  which are the main reason behind Brechtian. While an audience member watched a piece of Brecht performance he wanted his audience to be engaged and not just watch his plays for the...
