Here is a unique step-by-step process for realizing Brecht?s ways of working onstage using the 2015 Texas Tech University production of Brecht?s Mother Courage and Her Children as a model for exploration. Particular Brecht concepts?the epic, Verfremdung, the Fabel, gestus, historicization, literarization, the ?Not?but,? Arrangement, and the Separation of the Elements?are explained and applied to scenes and plays. Brecht?s complicated relationship with Konstantin Stanislavsky is also explored in relation to their separate views on acting. For theatrical practitioners and educators, this volume is a record of pedagogical engagement, an empirical study of Brecht?s work in performance at a higher institution of learning using graduate and undergraduate students. Bill Gelber is a Professor of Theatre in Acting, Directing, and Pedagogy at Texas Tech University, USA. He has been published in the Brecht Yearbook, Communications of the International Brecht Society, Southern Theatre, Texas Theatre Journal, and Early Modern Literary Studies and was recently inducted into the Texas Tech Teaching Academy. . 606 $aPerforming arts 606 $aTheater 606 $aTheater$xProduction and direction 606 $aPlaywriting 606 $aDramatists 606 $aEducation in literature 606 $aTheatre and Performance Arts 606 $aTheatre Direction and Production 606 $aPlaywrights and Playwriting 606 $aLiterature and Pedagogy 615 0$aPerforming arts. 615 0$aTheater. 615 0$aTheater$xProduction and direction. 615 0$aPlaywriting. 615 0$aDramatists. 615 0$aEducation in literature. 615 14$aTheatre and Performance Arts. 615 24$aTheatre Direction and Production. 615 24$aPlaywrights and Playwriting. 615 24$aLiterature and Pedagogy. 676 $a832.912 676 $a832.912 700 $aGelber$b Bill$01334037 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910672435503321 996 $aEngaging with Brecht$93044681 997 $aUNINA
