Brecht was influenced by Piscator and used technology on stage including placards, slide or film projections, sound and lighting effects.

The aim was to reject naturalism and draw attention to the artifice of the theatrical process. Bertolt Brecht was a German poet, playwright, and theatrical reformer whose epic theatre departed from the conventions of theatrical illusion and developed the drama as a social and ideological forum for leftist causes.

The distancing effect is a technique used in theater and cinema that prevents the audience from losing itself completely in the narrative, instead making it a conscious critical observer. Multi-roling The differences in character are marked by changing voice, movement, gesture and body language but the audience can clearly see that the same actor has taken on more than one role.

Examples of this include the use of projections, a narrator, harsh lighting, minimal set, lack of names for the characters, and the use of song ironically. Hey, i am looking for an online sexual partner ; Click on my boobs if you are interested.

Thursday, 8 November Narration. Brecht in his work uses narration, and sees narration as a very important tool; we did an exercise to explore narration and the use of it. In this exercise we had to act out an exercise and use narration to tell the story, however we had four types of narration that we had to use: one single narrator, an actor playing a character and stepping out to be a narrator, an actor speaking in third person and a singing narrator.

We had to tell a fairy story and use the four narrations, we did Cinderella, and we started off with the single narrator, this was because it is the classic way with fairy tales to have some one set the scene and the background, also it drew the audience in as it painted the picture for them.
