Our lecture-performance examined the relationship with an audience and aimed to describe research papers on selected practitioners and theater styles in an unconventional way that demonstrated the techniques explored in our readings.When reviewing the material for our lecture-performance, it was decided that in choosing a topic as specific as "relationship with the audience", it would be beneficial to examine the works and styles from different practitioners. Using this method showed that the techniques of our chosen practitioners: Bertolt Brecht, Tim Etchells (Forced Entertainment), Eugene Ionesco, Peter Handke and Luigi Pirandello often interconnected and influenced each other. It was found that while researching practitioners, we also looked at their preferred style of theater, such as Brecht's interest in epic theater or Etchells and postmodern theater. In examining these styles and techniques of theatre, it was found that although the ideologies of the practitioners were Likewise, the type of theater demonstrates a desire to create a particular relationship with a specific type of audience, which we wished to highlight. Before. By assigning each member of our group a specified style and practitioner for research and representation, this has proven useful in covering a wide range of research. This also allowed our audience to physically see the similarities and differences between styles and eras through the presence of a “representative”. This was used as a basis for structuring the research material into a slightly unconventional lecture. By structuring this material into a reality-style performance, with which the audience would be familiar, it made the lecture recognizable, engaging and suited to the idea of ​​“audience interactivity”. ..... middle of article ...... improved, there would need to be more of the "lecture" type aspects, as other lecture courses seemed to have leaned towards. This would include more open and comfortable discussion, and the inclusion of more conventional ways of representing the material in order to maintain the balance of the course, such as a slide show. Similarly, other lectures included reconstructions of texts that might have been useful in discussing practitioners' styles. In conclusion, the lecture-performance seemed successful in conveying the researched material in an unconventional way and also in demonstrating the researched techniques and styles. However, it could have benefited from a better balance between academic and satirical. Works Cited Esslin, Martin. The theater of the absurd. New York: Doubleday, 1961. Print. Etchels, Tim.
