EPIC THEATER
Co-conceived by Piscator and Brecht, epic theater began as political, documentarian theater that evolved and rebranded itself into epic theater.
Featured is a flip book like poster describing some features and characteristics of epic theater.
POSTMODERNISM
Although not necessarily a painting, I consider these artifacts to have some postmodernist elements to them. The piece isn’t technological in the way that we commonly interpret it (ie. computers, wires, screens, mechanics, etc). Technology is something that helps produce something or accomplish an objective. Depending on the era, a cup can be perceived as a piece of technology and it has definitely advances. This piece is an elongated cup is melded with the body of a bird, which emphasizes that characters are fragmented in postmodernist pieces; they are a smaller part of something bigger. The bird is a smaller part of a larger entity, which is the cup.
THEATER OF THE ABSURD
Theater of the Absurd is a movement that emphasized a nonsensical scope on the concept of human existence. It is heavily tied with existentialism, which is the exploration of human meaning. Characteristics of this style include repeated and disjointed dialogue as well as being wholly illogical. I feel as though these attributes are emphasized by the repeated purple flowers. The image of the young boy in formal and darker clothing, sitting in a bright and flowery field on top of a nonrealistic chair captures the existential aspect that is also married to this style.
EXPRESSIONISM
Expressionism began as a modernist art movement in Germany as a response to Realism and Naturalism. One of the world renowned paintings the Scream is a notable example of an expressionist art style. With that, many characteristics of Expressionism reflect the artistic movement as well. A dream like or surreal state, disjointed, shadowy, distortion. The painting is very angular and bizarre in terms of shape. It also feels rather asymmetrical; the top half feels disjointed from the bottom half because of the lack of shape, color, movement, pattern, etc.
POST MODERNISM:
Post Modernism occurred immediately after the Modernism movement and was a response to World War II. A defining characteristic of this style is a paradoxical narrative; I attempted to achieve this effect through the elevator doors opening up to different obscure locations. This includes multiplicity with inter related stories rather than a linear narrative.
The characters are also broken into separate parts which emphasizes the overall theme of the piece. I have different actors presented in different scenes for this reason. The style ignores the concept of “high” and “low” art; the production merely exists and the audience can interpret it however they please.
THEATER OF THE ABSURD:
Group: Layne Lazor, Mel Ferlise, Emily Dubin.
These are photos from the inside of our Happening.
Theater of the Absurd is illogical and confusing. We attracted people towards a classroom by advertising a party; when the participant came inside it was far from a party. The classroom was dark and a body was outlined on the floor next to “a dead corpse.” A “grim reaper” of sorts asked you what you would like to be remembered by. This was meant to emphasize existentialism; pondering what your purpose is or realizing that there is no purpose.

EXPRESSIONISM IN THEATER:
Expressionism began as a modernist art movement in Germany as a response to Realism and Naturalism. One of the world renowned paintings the Scream is a notable example of an expressionist art style. With that, many characteristics of Expressionism reflect the artistic movement as well. A dream like or surreal state, disjointed, shadowy, distortion.
In the pictures above think of the window of Terry’s office as a frame; this is a realistic set because it is a specific place. The smaller, darker piece of paper with geometric shapes against the wall is my expressionist interpretation of the realistic set. I used polygons to create bizarre and angular shapes that also made the piece look like it had constellations; resonate of a dream like atmosphere. However, it feels rather disjointed and distorted.
NATURALISM / REALISM IN THEATER:
This is a metaphorical interpretation of naturalism in theater. In naturalistic theater, characters are typically ill educated, low class, live in urban areas, and stay in packs... similar to insects. These characters are defined by their environment and heredity, exhibiting social darwinism, or survival of the fittest. This is represented by the thinner, centipede like insects being eaten. In Naturalistic plays, there are often themes of survival, determination, and violence- similar to the lives of insects.
It also represents Realism in theater because realism is an illusion of a believable event.
