Practitioners 

Rudolf von Laban

• 8 movement efforts

• reacting with body to the floor and surroundings
• action has a first sprak from one point of the body
• the push and take movements.
• stripped back theatre, no lights sound just the actor creating atmosphere with their body.

Bertolt Brecht

• breaking the 4th wall
• distance audience from being emotionally attached to a character
• using distancing techniques – speaking to the audience, narration, plaque cards.
