Artaud - The Interpretation of Language

Thursday 19th November

Today was spent looking at the many different ways of interpreting language, and how it can be interpreted through movement and gesture. We also worked on producing in small groups our own physical interpretations of words through the use of metaphors.

Split into two groups, first we created small pieces for the other groups to guess the phrase that it was based on. Then we wrote down metaphorical phrases for eachother to perform in the next lecture.

This was a useful activity as it helped us to move away from the reliance on language that we had built up within our monologues, and focus on new theatre aspects.
