Theater Log Book Term 3 - February 3rd 2014

Antonin Artaud wanted to create theater that twisted reality with fiction, creating surrealist theater.
Here are some pictures that inspired me as to ideas that could be used as a stimulus for our 'Alice In Wonderland' performance. 

Today we had to bring in a stimulus that gave us inspiration for ideas of what we can include into our devised performance. The picture I used was an image of a desolate and isolated cottage. The reason why I chose this picture was because I still wanted to represent the themes of English, which is why I used the cottage, because in British countryside there are many of those buildings. Additionally, the countryside is a large part of British culture, however, to include the twisted Artaud ideology, I imagined that a cottage in a desolate, scary and isolated environment would give a horror and twisted side towards it.
