Peter Brook –
Randomly Relatable (kevin, joel, annie, wally)
All the info that is
basically on the handout
Theatre
interpretation of text
Theatre of
architecture rather than following shadows
Juan kott met him in
1957 – King lear on endgame
Julian Beck, Judith
Malina – political theatre
Thought theatre should
be relatable and symbolic, connect to people to a personal level
Spread theatre around
the world – took groups around the world to showcase their theatre
Group development –
believed that the group should be a strong community
Location is key –
cannot perform in an unfamiliar place
Theatre to move people to do great things
Take from the
audience – used as fuel
Audience spoil
perfect improve
Experiment with
styles – transcending cultures and language
Words – use
incredible phrases like the end of a whip
words are the
ultimate expression
charge the words
make words are the
most important
Performance – perform
for EVERYONE
“What am I doing
theatre for?”
Respect audience
Theatre of silence –
best form of expression through silence
Theater has different
aims for different
King Lear (1962) –
method of performance was very new and different
Very improve based :
workshops, training, experimentations
Simple. Simple set,
lighting, let the audience not get lost
Only time he was
directing and designing: he made it rectangular, grey, stark. A lot of thunder
sheets
Work with trusted
actors
Helped develop the
royal Shakespeare company
Collaborations:
RSC – big part of RSC
so most well known
Everytime he went
somewhere new he would forget everything he knew before. This helped developed
theatre of cruelty and his philosophies
Aim for international
collaboration
Make sure everyone
works well collaboratively but bring out amazing work individually
The sad tree frog
(their performance)
- we get to choose
