Further exploration of stimuli...(PMD1/2)
The clip above was a piece generated from the word "Plague", taken from the "Mask of Red Death".
My group and I generated a mind map of ideas including practitioners to create a piece.
As a group we drew many ideas from Brecht's work and practices particularly his idea of "Epic Theatre" and to avoid the naturalistic theatre. This coined effectively well with our idea of a pandemic affecting the whole world. Our performance shows how the "plague" began with one minor host and developed on further.
I believe this work and stimuli to be suitable for performance as we were effectively able to communicate our story to the audience through body language, facial expressions and sound only without any dialogue. This style also links well to Artuad's theatre of cruelty due to the themes of death, violence, apocalypse. Combined with our own screams as sound effects create a taunting performance sure to leave an impact on our audience, being 18+ due to the horror theme.
