Opposed to "normal" theatre there is minimal narration and/or text throughout the piece.]]> 2023-01-16 14:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/8156591/onf9rtm3qkbp8aol/wish/2445758291 8156591 https://padlet.com/8156591/onf9rtm3qkbp8aol/wish/2445761640 There's three types of physical theatres that occur during theatre; clowning/mime, contemporary dance and Noh. They tend to always challenge the "norm" of a proscenium arch and lean more into creating a relationship between the audience and the actors by breaking the fourth wall. Physical Theatre incorporates dance and physical aspects as well and vocal, visual art such as back drops and projections through gauze.]]> 2023-01-16 14:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/8156591/onf9rtm3qkbp8aol/wish/2445761640 8156591 https://padlet.com/8156591/onf9rtm3qkbp8aol/wish/2445762387 Frantic Assembly

Practitioners such as Steven Berkoff and John practiced and mastered their craft on theatre in such establishments. Flexibility incorporates itself within Physical theatre and this is thanks to contemporary dance. ]]> 2023-01-16 15:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/8156591/onf9rtm3qkbp8aol/wish/2445769739 8156591 https://padlet.com/8156591/onf9rtm3qkbp8aol/wish/2451350633 Here is a small clip of the "bed scene" preformed in 2009 by Frantic Assembly. As an audience member i was incredibly intrigued with the way the actors used their prop  together as well as their bodies to execute their performance. Although in the clip there is rather a lot of action together which may be perceived as 'messy', it is still quite aesthetically pleasing watching the actors come in and preform different dynamics on stage through the use of proxemics. For example, at one point in the performance an actor crouched under the bed as another did a handstand on the bedframe, followed by a roll over the shoulder. This range of motion can be interpreted in numerous ways but overall added to the performance as a whole. I particularly liked when one actor started on stage and then as the music grew louder, an accumulation of people ran on stage.]]> 2023-01-20 17:29:37 UTC https://padlet.com/8156591/onf9rtm3qkbp8aol/wish/2451350633 8156591 https://padlet.com/8156591/onf9rtm3qkbp8aol/wish/2470927085 Here is a clip of "To Be Straight Wit You" preformed in 2010 by DV8 Physical Theatre. As an audience member i complexly love this performance in its entirety. The cannon and accumulation that is showed throughout the performance creates a seamless view  and allows an audience member to completely focus on the lead actor talking, considering everybody is in sync so nothing is distracting you. The lines the lead actor recites as well correlates to the name of the piece considering he is 'being straight' about his views on different opinions and occurrences in the world, this once again creates a satisfying feeling for the audience In addition, having the performance originally start off with one person  ]]> 2023-02-07 00:12:50 UTC https://padlet.com/8156591/onf9rtm3qkbp8aol/wish/2470927085
