Putting Theory into Practice
Peregrine's practitioner workshops give practical experience of the styles and techniques of leading theatre practitioners such as Brecht, Stanislavsky, Grotowski, Artaud, Boal (Forum), Pinter and Beckett (Absurdism).
These practitioner workshops are particularly valued by teachers and students for their ability to demystify technical terms and guiding principles which students can sometimes find bewildering.
Brecht – gestus, Alienation / verfremdung, rehearsal techniques, Epic Theatre
Stanislavsky – Magic if, Objectives and Motivation, E-memory, spontaneity, Naturalism
Artaud – Theatre of Cruelty, gesture, sound, movement, light, shade, rhythm, frenzy, ritual and incantation.
Grotowski – Poor Theatre, concentration, discipline, the ensemble, simplicity, movement, performance as gift.
Peter Brook - with reference to Equus, The Tempest etc.
One-day Practitioner Workshop – compares and contrasts how 2 or more practitioners would approach a given text.
…informative, inspirational and great fun. No amount of formal classroom explanation can convey what the Practitioners were getting at: the students have to EXPERIENCE the theories, both for their own understanding, and to fulfil the requirements of the exam. I felt that key concepts were “unlocked” for us.
