Helpful Research Resources

For this unit--Director's Alive--you will research one of the prominent theatre theorists. To apply these theories, you will present your theories, lead a workshop and direct as that theorist.

The possibilities for theorists are:
  • Katie Mitchell (SOFIA?)
  • Constantin Stanislavski
  • Jerzy Grotowski
  • Bertold Brecht (CHLOE)
  • Peter Brook (MARIA EUGENIA)
  • Antonin Artaud (JENNY)
As we begin to explore the different theorists, the Styletasters from DramaWorks (on Digital Theatre Plus), might provide helpful research in theory and practice. I find the practical workshops, particularly useful. These are useful booklets, and I would encourage you to download & keep for reference (next year, anyone?)

Styletaster 1 - Stanislavski, Artaud & Grotowski
Styletaster 2 - Brecht, Boal & Brook
