This term for me will challenge me as a performer. I don't know how I will see experiemental theatre by the end of the term. However, I want to explore and understand a new creative process. I think this term will allow me to mentally and physically push myself in performance creatively.
The practioners and modern day directors of the genre we will be looking at are Antonin Artaud (Creator of Theatre of Cruelty); Samuel Beckett; Bertold Brecht (Creator of Epic Theatre); Peter Brook and Jerzy Grotowski (Creator of Poor Theatre). From these practioners and directors I feel as though we'll understand experimental theatre from these interpretations on the art. I think these ideas and concepts we can use to explore in our final piece. Personally, I feel as though having a grand understanding and solid grounding of the genre will give our piece direction.
From the last two terms I have learnt what works well for me as a performer and what doesn't. I want to achieve my best this term and make sure I make use of everything that we do, so I achieve the best performance I can possibly offer. I want to leave this term knowing I can leave Brit and perform my own experimental piece. My log book will consist of research, ideas, rehearsal process, pictures and a personal journey from my perspective engaging with experimental as a theatre form as an actor.
