Introduction to Theatre Beard, a new channel for all GCSE and BTEC performing arts students
I am now working with young people on a performance based on Brecht's text, not written as a drama. Thank you for this video! I use it to prepare the actors and as an answer to the question "why do we do this, it's not logical?". Great lecture!
Thank you 😊
Clutch my guy, appreciate you
Thanks a lot! I'm reminded of the movie The Square where there is an actor who does his best to become an ape, useing prostethics to move like an ape, grunting, jumping around, bothering and challangeing the audience, who try their best to apprieciate the performance while having dinner. Eventually they get dragged in emotionally on almost a primitive level and sort of embrace their animal nature. I tought it was brilliant and it really works as a sort of theatre of cruelty type thing. Anyway, thanks, enjoyed the video!
Well done 👍🏻
As a butoh artist, I feel butoh was Artaud's theatre made to ferment and develop more.
I took a choreo class as a directing student in college and I was the only non dancer there. We had a project to research a dance form from around the world and I watched hours of Butoh performance. I feel like it's so primordial that it can tell stories that are unfettered by cultural norms. Never made the Theatre of Cruelty connection but you are totally right!
Tatsumi Hijikata heavily admired Artaud. He even did his own version of Artaud's crazy sound performance To Have Done With The Judgment of God. He did somehow get ahold of it and played it in his class often. @@TheJoker137
Who is this old guy
Very successful, congratulations.
Thank you soo much.. This is really gonna help me with my arts exam 😁
thank you!
This really helped me for my GCSE drama thankyou so much very clear, concise and helpful!
Hi! Love your videos. They are awesome. Just wondering if you had a video about Abstract Theatre and any examples of Abstract Theatre and associated practitioners please.
and Portrait of a Lady on Fire. I make music so I appreciate this.
never seen The Science of Sleep so thank you.
Thank you, very informative, inspiring, useful
Thank you! This is really helpful for some one like me who barely knows about theater but at a moment has a strong curiousness on this specific man and his type of work that has implicit impact on today’s shows. I actually heard this from a study on the game streaming where audiences are not there just for immersing themselves to the game, but to see and express their reflections with the streamer, and for some indie games that really tell serious and sad stories, audiences think a lot more than just play it themselves.
Artaud was my favourite during performance studies. Its nice what ur doing. Tnx.
Do you know the Dimitri Accedemia ? It's a physical theatre school in Switzerland were they teach pantomime among other things
Thankyou so much for this but can you tell the difference between v- effect and a-effect?
this is just a poor copy of crash course video for antonin artaud ("Antonin Artaud and the Theater of Cruelty: Crash Course Theater #43"), why would you do this?
uhm I'm guessing since it's about a factual thing, anyone can make a video about it and it's not 'copying' if it's a factual thing.
@@bluebellbeatnik4945 not my point. It's has both the exact same structure and content. It is almost identical. Not cool
Thank you for this, a clear, accessible introduction to Brecht.
Thank you so much for this. We are looking at Epic Theatre at the moment for GCSE and this is a great clarification of all of the key point of context surrounding its inception. Thank you again
This is so great!!! thank you so much!! :)))
thanks for this!! very well presented <33 helpful for my classical theory class as a TH major... I need to play this character 'naturalistically', our prof said. and it's quite a challenge, coming from a musical th background. cheers to more content!!
Thank you so much for such an interesting interview. As an amateur actor it is so nice to hear from the professionals, and how many things we have in common. I completely agree with Sam's comments on slosh scenes, I was lucky enough to do one with my group, involving water, flour and custard pies, and it was indeed the most fun I have ever had in any production. So thanks for a fun trip down memory lane, and I hope I can do it again in the future.
Useful✌️
Some people call Antonin Artaud insane. Me, I call him ahead of his time...also someone with schizophrenia, but who said theatre was for sane people?
hi, don't know if you still read your comments on this older video, but I'm kind of confused. In your first example of the dog, you say the photograph is an index, not an icon, because it represents the dog. But in the second example you use a photo of Marilyn Monroe as an icon. How is that different from a photograph of your dog? When is something that's not physically there still an icon, and when is it an index?
Working on tactics to tackle the comedy in Phaedra's Love by Sarah Kane for school, these videos helped point out some directions for me to go in! Thank you <3
Any recommendations on what seats to go for in the Drury lane!? Royal Circle rear and Grand Circle 3 rows back? Both similar priced ticket? We have two young kids with us?
thank u
Very helpful thank you very much x
I have been following and using your youtube at work..... and just realised you are the tik tok word guy too!!!
Hello Theatre Beard, Greetings ! I am writing this to you as I am simply amazed by your way of explaining Bertolt Brecht's epic theatre. Actually, I need a small favour from you. I am a Ph.D student from India, trying to do some research work on Bertolt Brecht, but I'm a little confused about epic theatre. I have tried to put up my understanding of Brecht's epic theatre in the below paragraph through an example. It would be a great favour if you could spare some time and give your honest feedback whether my understanding is correct or not and whether I can include the below example in my upcoming seminar on Brecht: "Imagine a scenario when you are watching the “live telecast” of a football game on your television set. With the due course of time, you will realize that you will start getting emotionally involved with the game. You might be making small movements as the football moves to and fro; sometimes you might also end up kicking the front table. In the nutshell, you are emotionally entangled into the match curiously thinking about the result of the game. Now imagine another scenario wherein you are watching the same football game in front of the same TV, but this time around it's not live but recording of the match. Now if you try to contrast the two scenarios, you will realize that in 2nd scenario, you are mentally better composed, sitting at ease with your back calmly resting on the chair. Also, another major difference in your mindset you will find out is that you are in a much better situation to critically evaluate the players’ performances during the match, as you are no more anxious about the outcome. So, clearly, you become more critical and observational in 2nd scenario in contrast to the 1st scenario wherein you were largely emotional. Now if we try to draw an analogy between the above two scenarios with the world of theatre, it can be deduced that the 2nd scenario is nothing but the representative of Bertolt Brecht’s “Epic Theatre” which essentially aims at making the audience think and intends to connect at the conscious level so as to critically analyze the situation without being emotionally driven by the on-stage spectacle." I am not sure how you would react to this unexpected demand, but it would be a big academic help if you could shed some light on this. Thanks in advance.
Just got the last ticket to Bonnie and Clyde and wasn’t sure were it was in the theater. Thank you for explaining things so easily!
Thank you so much! As an American, I'd concocted fun imagery for "the stalls"- being some sort of Shakespearian style seating, perhaps standing room only, with loads of ancient, thick wooden beams that we peek around to watch the action onstage, obviously wearing our 17th century finery, pulling a handkerchief from our bosom to wipe a tear as we watch the play. I'm a bit sad, really, that it's just, err, the bottom floor. 🤣
& Also.. Can u present some history of theatre from different countries by a series of videos.. About It's impacts, growth etc. Please
Hey, thanks for such helping videos, lot of informations❣️.. Can u describe about emlie zola and its perspective to naturalism
Please make a video about Method Acting......and difference between Stanislavski's System and Method Acting
Thank you!
I just commented on the part one video, but again, I found this really interesting, especially the multiroling , which I myself have done in the past.😁
