18th September 2014
Today we learnt about Steven Berkoff's work and what his techniques are. We also discussed about what films he has starred in, which includes 'Octopussy' and 'A Clockwork Orange'.

We also learnt about Frank Kafka's 'Metamorphosis'. This involves a lot of things about physical theatre. Also, a lot of Steven Berkoff's techniques are involved too, so that's why we learnt about these two methods.

A good example that involves a lot of Physical Theatre is DV8's 'Enter Achilles'. The physical theatre that is shown involves people lifting others on to their shoulders and throwing themselves around the room. The performance is set in a Men's Pub, and includes scenes in the pub with men's music playing and football showing on the T.V set. 'Enter Achilles' only has men in the roles and no females.
