Experimental Theatre

Experimental as a whole form, is a general term for various movements in Western theatre that began in the late 19th century with Alfred Jarry and his Ubu plays as a rejection of both the age in particular and, in general, the dominant ways of writing and producing plays. The term now has shifted over time as the mainstream theatre world has adopted many forms that were once considered radical. It is used more or less interchangeably with the term avant-grade theatre. Experimental theatre is what it is, namely trying something new. 

For my research I have found, like site specific, experimental theatre can be performed anywhere and anyhow. There are no rules with experimental theatre. The thing I like about experimental theatre is that it breaks the fourth wall with the audience and character relationship. 

Personnally I want to ensure our performance piece pushes the boundaries in the audience relationship to the performers. Also I want to try and create an audience experience that they're not used to. I want the audience to feel uncomfortable and shocked. I think we should use sound scapes to put the audience in an imagative state. "Experimental theatre", this term should mean we play on the senses more than ever, further than our previous performances. The senses can be used to make the audience feel isolated, insecure, confident and empowered we should play around with taking the audiences power away and making them have too much.
