    1. B. 1925 London Educated :Oxford 1970 formed CIRT International Centre for Theatre Research Bouffe du Nord, Paris

    2. Artaud Brecht Meyerhold Grotowski

    3. Responsibility to theatre-going audiences, remembering that, as a performing group, we cannot survive without a relationship with the people who keep the theatre in existence To create a relationship with the people who would never cross the door to a theatre in a thousand years, by seeing them on their own ground in schools, meeting places and open-air places

    4. The responsibility to itself and its craft.the actormust constantlydevelop himself in relation to othersthrough group exercisesand, at the same time, increase the general understanding of the mysterious nature of that craft itself by trying out things that have not been tried before, Kaleidoscope 1978

    5. Our first principle, we decided, was to make culture, in the sense of culture that turns milk into yoghurt - we aimed to create a nucleus of actors who could later bring ferment to any wider group with whom they worked. In this way, we hoped that the special privileged conditions we were making for a small number of people could eventually enter into the theatres mainstream

    6. CIRT took established actors from all over the world to extend them Looked for people to bring different colours-something that goes through to the soul Sense of the individual but within a team ..the real exercise with a group of actors is not for the person by himself.its to make the group more sensitive to itself.

    7. Active research and preparation as clearing of paths - a point where body, intellect and emotions are open Emphasis on preparation rather than training Like Grotowskis via negativa, unlearning the actor - no box of tricks PB Bring everything back to the level where there is no effort.

    8. What is theatre?

    9. Exercises and games Improvised performances - carpet shows Touring Language Sense of community TIME !

    10. develop actors capacity to articulate inner impulses, conveying them externally - Transparency make these forms as simple and economic ie clear, as possible - distillation - unsettle actors habitual responses and open up different energies, using different performing conditions and audiences use structure and play as interwoven supports

    11. use research as self-research - evolution and individual development in which theatre is the means but not the end. Theatre as a means to go beyond theatre Theatre as re-membering : mythical narratives or fables actualised here and now thus re-uniting the community, in all its diversity, within the same shared experience

    12. Trying to create an international language of sound, an exploration of the musical power of language in ancient rituals where sound is everything With Ted Hughes Language and production called Orghast

    13. Epic Indian poem 15 times longer than the Bible 10 years to rehearse Nine hour adaptation, 1985 Toured in English and French Because it cover(s) the whole of human experience

    14. ..Brook in fact used the Mahabharata to revolutionize theatre itself, and to assert it as spectacle and is thus a bold attempt to give theatre life again Vijay Mishra, "The Great Indian Epic and Peter Brook," in Meanjin, 1988

    15. adaptation of Hamlet the performance mixes scenes from the play-ending in the death of Ophelia-with a discussion among the actors on theories of acting.These passages are culled from Craig,Meyerhold,Stanislavsky,Brecht and Artaud bare stage, 3 chairs, no French actors

    16. Shoot first, ask questions afterwards is experience first, and only afterwards try to discover what that means. That goes through every side of the experience, including rehearsal, preparation, even like tonight, talking about theatre

    17. We wanted to get away from the idea of a company, and yet we did not want to shut ourselves away from the world, in a laboratory

    18. Read off the paper Barry ! (P2)

    19. Peter Brook A Theatrical Casebook comiled by David Williams Peter Brook and the Mahabarata edited by David Williams The Open Door : Thoughts on Acting and Theatre lots of other books the Internet interview on The South Bank Show
