1) Use your own words to describe what you think Physical Theatre is and write a definition.
To me i think physical theatre is a type or form of theatre that focuses or emphasises on the use of physical movement reather than dialouge which isnt used much
2)Then upload your photos from the lesson as an example and explain what you are doing in the images and why.
In this image we were acting like a blender that sucks people's hands in as we formed a cicle to form the blender and then someone was in the middle acting as the shredder of the blender as you can see the blender was trying to suck in his hand and he stood in a position which shows that he was trying to pull away and it was against his will.
a) Is all Physical Theatre without dialogue/words? explain
No not all physical theatre dont have dialouge, some of the presentation actually use dialogue but only a little of it to make the audience to understand more about the show.
b) Name a Physical Theatre practitioner and tell me something about them (read all of the pages before you answer this.)
DV8 are a group of practitioners. they are known to focus on dramatic potetianls which is unlocked from movement. Thier work is also described as crossroads where dance, sound and dram meet . They are also well known for exploring the aspects of human relationships and social or cultural issues.
c) What art forms does Physical Theatre combine? explain.
Physical theatre combines the art of techniques such as movement, mime, gesture and dance and a lot more and this is a from of art.
d) Give an example of how you could use Physical Theatre in a performance of a play text you know.
For romeo and juillet in the dance banquet they could have just stared at eachother in a trance and romantic music might play in the backgorund an the audience will understand that they are in love instead of actually saying "i love you".
e) Include any other information that you found interesting or did not know before.
I found out more about actual prctitioners who have this has thier jobs as i never knew people actually had jobs as this
This is very good because you have written in detail at times about this genre of performance and demonstrated a sound knowledge and understanding. You have clearly explained examples of using Physical Theatre in the lessons, given photos as evidence, and then answered each question I set. You have also interpreted the information from the source I gave you using your own words at times, so to get a higher grade you should do this consistently throughout. Good work. 6/8 Criteria A
