Project 4: Uncoventional Theatre

Jane Eyre
Gorrilla Theatre Company

"In the Gorilla Theatre production of Polly Teale’s adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s famous tale, plain Jane Eyre had an alter ego: the woman “Bertha,” locked in an attic cage but yearning to be allowed the free expression of all her capacities, female and human."

Crimes
International Student Network (ISN-R Theatre Group)


"Crimes dwells on the idea of Reality as a human construct, on the plurality of meanings that may bloom from the very same phenomenon: as many as individuals implied."
http://www.isn-rleiden.nl/theatre.html

The show Crimes which is performed by the Internation Student Network takes a short scene where a murder has takn place and replays it. The concept that makes this performance uncoventional is that everytime the scene replays, instead of moving the actors, the show moves the audience giving them different point of views for each experience. This website has an email contact as well as a section on recent workshopping.
