hello, just been revisiting Artaud for my workshop and well I know Hannah said she thought it was a very Artaud-esque piece but think it is..as much as she made it out to be.
I definetly think we can use influence from him. It's very ghastly and horrid, which I don't think is necisserily what we are going for. 'Theatre of the Oppressed' speaks for itself because it centers around focusing on those issues that aren't addressed, sex, abuse, murder. think we can borrow the absurdist way of working. im excited to introduce it to you guys.
See you tomorrow.
:)
Limbo and life after death is maybe something that isn't addressed and a subject we could apply Artaud to! I like the idea of challenging the audience with a risky subject! Can we discuss avoiding making it a scary piece as I think we can do better than that... (or sexual as I HATE art work which used nudity as a shock method, its pointless and I think it's soooooooooo studenty!) Lets discuss........
