Brecht Workshop 1: Introduction to Style

On February 7, 2017,  we had our first Brecht workshop. We learned before the workshop about Brecht's work briefly. Mainly about the ways he uses to stress non-realism in his work to allow the audience to have the ability to think and judge rationally. We worked on 4 workshops on that day.
During the first workshop, we were told to act out something we do everyday (i.e. morning routine). Then later we were told to act it out again, but narrate every single action done in the act.

This workshop's aim is to introduce us to Brecht's style of narrating what is exactly happening on the stage. This style he uses helps fulfill his purposes, since it gives the ability to think and judge clearly to the audience. This workshop helped us to be introduced to the active theatre used in Brecht's workshops. It started us off to be more comfortable to be acting exaggerated moves. I thought that it was a good start for the day.
