Watch two or more of the videos, which show the same performer presenting five different versions of the same piece of text (Ophelia from Shakespeare’s Hamlet), informed by different theorists (Antonin Artaud, Bertolt Brecht, Peter Brook, Jerzy Grotowski and Constantin Stanislavski). Ask yourself:
How has theory informed practice to create these five very different theatre experiences?
How have design, direction, and performance been used?
