WORKSHOPS
Offering a brecht viewpoints; Strategies & Tactics Workshop at Prop Thtr, Sat & Sun June 3 & 4, 11AM - 4PM both days. Led at Prop Thtr, by Stefan Brün, an intensive practical use of brechtian viewpoints, strategy and tactics.
For your work? You, who participate, bring or are offered a piece of time-based Art. Depending upon the respondents, first day with yet to be determined distribution of full-group session, with discussion of brecht's work and an open rehearsal attempting to pursue some of the viewpoints, etc and smaller group breakout, wherein each participant's piece gets worked upon. On the Sunday, we begin in smaller groups and then coalesce to view work together and discuss work insights and responses to brecht's provocations and suggestions.
This could be useful for directors, devisors and literary-manager/dramaturgs, playwrights, designers of all sorts, spoken word, theater, dance, movement, musical performers - strategies and viewpoints for a theater that intervenes, that is about what is for real.
Stefan Brün has directed a number of brecht plays and evenings of poetry and song; he worked at the Berliner Ensemble, then a theater created by Brecht, for a season and on Heiner Müller's adaptation from a 600 page brecht fragment: 'Fatzer, Demise of the Egoist', translating the performance script into English for Prop Thtr's 15th Anniversary Premiere; His (mis)understandings of brecht and of theater craft follow long years of practice, in both Germany and the US.
Although the price for the workshop is $100 for both days, Prop Thtr and our funders are sponsoring a Pay-What-You-Can policy! Please write to sgbrun@propthtr.org with subject: brecht -
please include any specific ideas of work you might have you would wish to examine or kinds of work for us to suggest to you, for hands-on work. Individual discussion with participants will both prepare the work on participant pieces and determine the schedule's shape.
Also all questions are welcome, by email. Please indicate your level of payment with your email. Bios, pictures, resumes, etc are welcome but by no means required. Willingness for practical work, regardless of background, is all that is required.
