- I thought his use of props were used well to juxtapose the human emotions around his monologue. I learned theater of the absurd uses both realistic and non-realistic elements. This relationship helps the things that are "absurd" seem even more absurd.
- The setup of the performance was very intimate. The chairs were in a circle around a black fabric on the ground. I liked how Lynn was able to interact with the audience using different fabric materials and their colors. Red is usually associated with passion and love. However, it can also be used to portray power, On the other hand, white symbolizes innocence. When Lynn took away each fabric, I thought it symbolized taking away a piece of someone's innocence and power. This idea relates back to Artaud's theater of cruelty and how often times the audience begins to feel uncomfortable.
Goose - Chekhov
- I liked how she used a video, similar to how Chekhov would train Hollywood stars. One of the main gestures that was shown was putting on and off the lipstick. I also liked how she spoke to the mirror as if she were talking to herself. However, in reality, she was talking to a reflection of herself. I also thought she incooperated Stanislavsky's method very well. It was easy to see which emotion was being conveyed in their respected units.
Adam - Grotowski
- In the beginning of his performance, he was much more submissive and timid. Although it was a very minimalistic set, he was able to use his body and its movements to portray the mood. As the performance continued, it seemed like his character was able to become much more confident. It was interesting that the different dynamics between many characters were able to be compacted into one. Instead of interacting with other actors on stage, he was more or less interacting with himself.
