Verbatim Theatre

Please post a response to the following prompt on your blog:

Reflect on your experience last week exploring Verbatim Theater. Why do you think people do it? What does it accomplish? What was your experience like (and your group's experience)? Was the process difficult? And if so, how so? Were any aspects easier than others? Did you enjoy it? Why or why not? What did you learn?


I think that people do Verbatim Theatre because they like to turn a regular interview into an interesting performance. I feel like it accomplishes the fact that it's real and people can relate to it
 I had a good experience because I liked telling stories and hearing other people's stories and deciding which ones should be performed. The process was difficult when everyone was trying to remember their experiences. Nothing was really easier to do than in any other type of performance. I enjoyed doing Verbatim theatre because it was fun to watch people imitate other people. I learned that it is important to remember the small details in a performance.
