A practical, hands-on guide - for actors, directors, teachers and
students - to Brecht's history and practice of theatre. The Complete
Brecht Toolkit examines, one by one, Brecht's many, sometimes
contradictory ideas about theatre - and how he put them into practice.
Here are explanations of all the famous key terms, such as Alienation
Effect, Epic Theatre and Gestus, as well as many others which go to
make up what we think of as 'Brechtian theatre'. There follows a
section which looks at the practical application of these theories in
Acting, Language, Music, Design and Direction. And finally, the book
offers fifty exercises for student actors to investigate Brecht's
ideas for themselves, becoming thoroughly familiar with the tools in
the Brecht toolkit.
