Brecht techniques presentations 29/09/16

In today's lesson, we each presented our presentations. From watching other presentations, I additionally learnt the following:

• Brecht used very basic props, for example for a car do, there would be a sign held up by an actor/actress, that reads 'car door'. Also, there would be a lot of multi rolling, and females playing male parts and vice versa. And he would usually use simple white light for lighting. This is all so the audience are constantly reminded that it is not reality it is only a play.
• Most of his plays were set in and about many years before his time, merely to cover up the fact that they were obviously about the Nazi party and Hitler - this was because if they had directly been set and about the Nazi's, he would have been killed.
