6th November lesson 1

Daily task 
The final task of the lesson was called daily task which involved us individually to think and go through one of our step by step routines that we do everyday. The routine I chose consisted of me simple waking up and making a cup of coffee.
The first part of this exercise was to walk it through in a naturalistic style following the rules of practitioner Stanislavsky and being as detailed as possible; doing the exercise like this I found was challenging as it was harder to pinpoint less key moments of my routine as I didn't get a chance to fully process what I was doing, also from a audiences perspective it would be hard to understand as some actions that I was making weren't clear without explanation.
The second part of task was to adapt our original movement following practitioner Brecht's methods which consisted of breaking the 4th wall. Aspects that I included were: talking in 3rd person, explaining everything in detail e.g the colour of my milk cap, the direction I am walking in and time also i explored the process of multi tasking by turning my water heater on. Following this method I felt was successful as it took away the emphasis on the audience looking at how I made my coffee but why and the meanings behind it.
From doing this exercise it has shown me some of the benefits from breaking the 4th wall and his method of the "V-effect" making it clearer to me about how his style orientates and operates thus broadening my understanding of his work and also my appreciation for Brecht theatre.
