Viewpoints techniques can be easily adapted for community learners. They are particularly good for facilitators working with migrants, refugees, people with learning disability etc. It’s a totally physical approach to ensemble building and team work. ALL exercises can be simplified to make them less intense. What counts is the TEAM BUILDING and working as a group
JERZY GROTOWSKY Towards a poor theatre “Poor Theatre” places emphasis on the physical skill of the performer and uses props for transformation into other objects, sometimes of great significance. The focus is on Space & Actor-Audience Relationship ● traditional theatre spaces are ignored in preference for rooms and buildings ● little need for a traditional stage dedicated to acting or a purpose-built theatre ● Intense exploration of the relationship between participant and spectator ● his aim was to eliminate the division between actor and audience, creating a communion between the two “Grotowski’s method is positively valued by pre-adolescents and improves acceptance towards the others” by Stella Conte, Gioia Cambiaggio, Ghiani Carla, and Buffa Margherita Four elements breathing Breathing and speaking ENSEMBLE GAMES FOR LANGUAGE STIMULATION Five things, count to 21, firing line, categories (you can skip the first exercise in the video.
