Brecht Workshop - The Rehearsals

The rehearsals so far are going well, we are starting our piece with a Kurt Weill song- Alabama Song.
This has a dark element to it, the song is about a man who feels like the world has got the better of him, he ends up killing a little girl, this lyrics is stated in the song... 'Oh show me the way to the next little girl, Oh don't ask why"
The man has gone mad and can only think about drinking his life away, stated in the song "show me the way to the next whiskey bar" 

The main motive for this beginning piece is to feel disorientated and slightly mad.
There is some choreography and it's main objective is to intimidate the crowed by braking the fourth wall and focusing on the girls.

The rest of the pieces are based on Brecht's poems, some are performed as a whole group and some are performed as split groups, we have all put our ideas into each performance.
