In order to break the fourth wall and establish an instant connection with the audience, Rosie began her performance by sitting on the same table as the rest of us, making it feel as if we were all having a shared conversation. This decision demonstrates Brook’s concern with human connection, which for him was a crucial part of theatre. Brook also believed in giving actors the freedom to explore and play with their characters, which may justify Rosie’s decision to add her very own interpretation of the scene.
Rosie made it clear to us through her constant interaction with the audience that Brook's theory heavily depends on human connection. She interacted with the audience by sitting down at the table with us, touching us, and by looking at each of us (individually) in the eyes. Rosie would show lots of levels by climbing on tables or lying on the ground. Brook employs acrobatics and dramatic movements, which is what Rosie put into the monologue as well. I really felt connected to her performance since she was so interacting so much with me, as an audience member. In addition, through her big expressions and large movements, the monologue was really impactful.
