Now, for the feature presentation.

It's your turn!

Each group will get one scene and will have to explain how they would stage it, using alienation techniques.

The Alienation Effect

the distancing effect

- prevents audience from suspending their disbelief

- designed to distance audiences from emotional involvement

Group 1 - Scene 5

Group 2 - Scene 7

Group 3 - Scene 12

- includes jolting reminders of artificiality

Examples of techniques:

- speaking stage directions out loud

- transposition into third person or into past

- addressing audience directly

- use of visible light sources and dramatic lighting

Brecht's Epic Theatre

- use of sound effects and song

Bertolt Brecht's dramatic theory using alienation effect

Main aims:

1) Message must be clear

2) Audience must be critically aware

Alienation

in Mother Courage

- characters break into song (Mother Courage introduces herself with a song)

- the death of Swiss Cheese

- thunder of cannon and other war sounds

Brecht's Epic Theatre was a political mission of the theatre

The impact of

alienation in Mother Courage

& Brecht's intention

- spoilers at the start of every scene

- Brecht wanted German audiences to see Mother Courage before the outbreak of WWII, he predicted the devastation

Breaks from alienation

- the matter of The Cook and the inn

- he used alienation because he wanted his audiences to think about what they were seeing in a critical way

- Katrinn's death, Courage sings a lullaby

- he wanted them to reflect on their own actions and society

- play was not actually presented in Germany until after the war, Brecht still wanted to show German people the impact of their actions, or lack thereof (Germans did not change their ways, so neither does Courage)

- inspired by philosophies of Marx, Hegel, and Shklovsky (theory of defamiliarization)

- minimalist set

- method intended to help audience understand complex historical development and social relationships

- audience is forced to ask questions about elements related to real life events and demand intellectual solutions
