  • Paper Birds
    • Paper Birds are a devising theatre company with a social and political agenda
      • Their mission is to provoke change using the voices of everyday people
        • This style is called Verbatim Theatre
    • Paper Birds use various techniques like:
      • Brecht
      • Non-Acting
      • The use of Movement
      • The use of Physicality
      • Breaking the fourth wall
      • Characters as Objects
      • Physical Theatre
      • Space  Ambition Success
      • Direct Adress
      • Visual Imagery
      • Naturalistic/ Heightened Verbatim
      • Dot to Dot choreography
    • One of the shows we have watched was called 'Thirsty'.
      • This Show was based on the Nations Love affair with alcohol
        • It incorporates peoples drunk confessions
      • Personally i thought the show was very engaging and funny. I loved the way they used different physicalities throughout and incorporate the simple set of two toilet stalls in many different ways. What i also loved was the motif of the red pair of high heels to represent that one girl.
  • The Other show we watched was called 'Mobile'
    • Mobile explores our sense of home, belonging, aspiration, and the reality of social mobility.
      • I also loved how different the performance was because you'd think you couldn't do much with a caravan.
    • Personally, I loved the way they used objects to represent different characters or  their stories
  • My Own justified opinion on Paper Birds Work is that I liked one more than the other however, i still thought both was equally creative.
  • I believe that their mission of provoking change is working.
  • I also think they stand out because they are different and stories we wouldn't normally be expected to be told through a drama piece.
