  • Poor Theater and Theater of the Oppressed were two sort of concurrent movements that shared some of the same aims. Jerzy Grotowski's Poor Theater eschewed the use of lighting, props, costumes, makeup, and many of the other trappings of "rich" theater. Augusto Boal's Theater of the Oppressed in Brazil challenged the ideas of how plays were written and performed, and blurred the lines between actors and audiences.

      @@screaminggecko7660 I would argue college is the classroom, the lecturers, the syllabuses, the "peer debates", the libraries. There are books that are very difficult or impossible to gain access to as a layman, at least in my country if you are not associated with a college or a similar institution. Colleges are in theory a hub of knowledge, the classes themselves are one part, the library is merely another. Crash course is pretty surface level so if you learnt more from crash course than years of college it seems like you didn't effectively use all of the aspects of college. I don't know his circumstances though, maybe my view is too narrow.

      I think a refreshing take on either position is noting that you have the capacity to learn restlessly, and radically change yourself mid-process. Don't underestimate this.

    Hey Crash Course
    I was wondering if you guys could maybe start a series on music theory. It would be nice to have for musicians wanting to improve their work. It could cover topics such as chord progression, scales, Minor/Major...etc.
    If you read this comment please consider, and thanks for taking the time to read it. Keep up the good work.

    I’m confused, so poor theatre is theatre without text, costumes, lighting effects, sets, props, and music, but the play of acropolis has music, costumes, sets and special effects?

    • @Cyssane
      @Cyssane 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      That confused me as well. I'm assuming that the Akropolis was from earlier on in the playwright's career, when he was still using props and costumes. But I'm just guessing.

    • @HDimagination
      @HDimagination 5 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Not necessarily, it's more of an acknowledgement that theatre doesn't need those things. In the words of Peter Brook, who popularised many of Grotowski's techniques and theories: 'I can take any empty space and call it a bare stage. A man walks across this empty space whilst someone else is watching him, and this is all that is needed for an act of theatre to be engaged'
      Poor theatre starts with the actor, and empowers people without access to dedicated spaces, expensive props, costumes and makeup to remember what is the most important foundation of Theatre; the actors and their performances. If you've ever been to a modern 'Black Box' workshop theatre where all the actors just wear stage blacks, with minimal costume, then you are witnessing Grotowski's influence.

    I'm looking at this at 7:00, and... they HAVE a set, they HAVE props, they HAVE costumes, they HAVE music, and most importantly, the have a script of some sort, so they HAVE a text. So all these things he "removed" from theater weren't removed at all. Is "Poor Theater" anything more than a lie then?
