This assessment will be in two parts. The first part is a performance and the second part is an essay, both of these will be marked out of l 0. You will also be required to hand in your completed logbook on the performance night and this will be graded A to E.

In groups of 6 to 8, which will be decided upon in consultation with your teacher, you are to create a 15 - 20 minute performance piece using the information below as a guide.

Your group is to create a polished performance of a modern day Brechtian rehearsal process. The performance must demonstrate judicious examples of Brecht's epic theatre techniques (theory and practice) through the rehearsals of Mother Courage and Her Children and your other text.

For example:

• Your group can imagine that you are a theatre company who is deciding which play to perform or,

• Your group could take on the roles of student actors trying to examine why Brecht is relevant today or,

• Your group can make up your own scenario.

You will be individually assessed in your group but please remember that collaboration and co-operation is the essence of HSC drama work and the essence of Brechtian theatre.

Well done, you have completed this module.
