Non-Realism

Non-realism was a dramatic movement that emerged in 1885 and signaled the beginning of modern theatre.
Artists reacted against representing the natural world on stage.
Modernism could be seen emerging, especially in the visual arts as abstract paintings and sculptures appeared.
Playwrights and directors began to use non-realistic forms and styles in their plays such as Symbolism, Dreams and Subconscious, Expressionism, Futurism and Dada.

  4. Heyyy yal :)
    Oh god took me about 40 minutes to work this blogger thing out. Haha
    Growing up I've always been called a drama queen.
    But I must admitt..
    Non realism is TOTALLY out of my comfort zone.
    But I'm ready for it.

    I can't wait to watch Alice in Wonderland.
    It looks amazing!
    And the hair and make up is so unique.
    See you all in Wednesdays class.

  6. wow today was good.

    i loved experimenting and improvising with the different music like that.. we're in one mood with one piece of music and then the mood and way of acting shifts completly with another.. it shows what effect music can have on drama and theatre and acting.

    we should do that more often.

    cant wait to perform something to an audience :)

    peace :D
