Reflective Blog post

  • Throughout last year we have gone through many vocabulary and definitions, most of them were practical because we had an opportunity to experience them on each other while being on the stage. In my opinion, most of the test questions were the basic conception of what our class did last year, and most of it was focused on the theatrical material. For me, the easiest part of the test was the main analogy of theatre class: beeing definition of characters and the ways of performance and the overview of the basic learning from the past. What really made me think were the specific nuances that contained someone's names his/her history, or little definitions that we did really use last year. 


  • In order for me to get back on track and get back to the theatrical definitions and vocabulary, I have to spend a little bit of time on rearranging a getting back it the material from the past year and getting to know it again. I might have to watch couple performances from last year in order to remember the structure of the play and the performances.

The name of the play is “The Caucasian Chalk Circle” by Bertolt Brecht written in 1944 while he was living in America.

The play was initially translated by Eric Bentley. This play is based on the aftermath of WWII, in which the “villagers” are complaining on who will control the valley . This play focuses on an act of true love and courage performed by a servant girl named Grusha Vachnadze and how she is judged by society regarding to her choices. There are two parts of the story: Part I is the story of Grisha's lifestyle and the difficult choices she must make to survive with the baby, while Part II follows and explains the care...
