Pomo Presentations Notes - Points taken from Kevin's blog (my main notes are written down on the practitioner handouts)

Stanislavsky

Born in Russia in the 1860's

  • Practiced realism in theatre
  • Was the director of his own circus band
  • Loved the idea that theatre was a way of life
  • Everything done up on stage had to have purpose to it (nothing should be put in just for the sake of making it look artsy).
  • Loved to think that characters had such diversity, and creating that diverseness from the actor's point of view was something that he supported.

Anne Bogart
And
Pina Bausch

Anne - American
Pina - German

  • Focused on theatre of dance
  • Loved diversity between races and cultures
  • Repetition was used a lot (or in all) of their pieces

  • Philosophies
    • Shared experiences of dancers rather than a precise vocabulary of movement
    • Plays with reality whilst giving us room to dream.
    • Expressing emotion physically
    • Insight into societal issues
    • Spaces created on stage - brings in the outside
    • Costumes represent absurdity and reality.
