Introduction and Scenario

This assignment will explore the work of Bertolt Brecht and will investigate his influence on the development of rehearsal and performance. It will cover the importance of "Politics" and it's impact on the creative arts, unpicking social/political themes and meanings which shape our everyday viewpoints and beliefs on the topic of "immigration in modern society".

Throughout the ongoing assignment, we will piece together perfomance material that cover the ideas of Brecht, concluding with a "Theatre Uncut" performance piece that will be promted by the question, "Do we all get more Right-Wing in hard times?"

The purpose of the assignment is to interpret stimulus material, exploring researching, shaping and developing material for performance and evaluating its potential for an audience.
