cmaddogz, you are totally awesome! Just thought I'd join up and add my beloved Godot notes - sigh. I really hate it. Anyway, hope they give anyone else a sense of excitement.

= Waiting for Godot
1. Rejection of realism and 4th wall naturalism of realist set- strips away layers of reality
• Minimalist set and plot, substitutes image for action, no radical change in staging or acting- circular plot, non-linear time frame and dramatic structure, undeveloping characters - emphasis on situation rather than events, stasis rather than change
Godot never comes
• Self enclosed settings refract rather than reflect ‘real’ world
Symbolic staging- tree may symbolize hope, but more realistically the deceptive passage of time
1. Language no longer expresses deepest meaning
• Patterns of images rather than argument and expansive speech, language games
• Repetition and stasis undercuts ultimate meaning
• Repetition of dialogue and action- theme of boredom which provokes thought about situation and identity
• Inability of language to communicate
(“E: I can’t have been listening”, “V: I don’t understand”)
• Arguments reduced to absurdity
• Silences interrupting speech often more important than speech- represents the void, emptiness and loneliness between people
(Lucky’s breakdown of speech and ultimate collapse into silence represents the world’s chaos randomness and meaninglessness)
1. Existentialism
(see tragic comedy)-
no separation between mundane and lofty - Talk of boots and bodily functions simultaneous with solitude, desire, grief, nature of existence
Only conscious action and choice defines purpose- freedom of choice rather than controlled e.g. God, predetermined divine order of Fate
“E: lets go, V: we cant, E: why not, V: we’re waiting for Godot”
Human’s require a rational basis for living but can’t find one- lives of futile passion
Attempted order in waiting for Godot
Futility of life and situation- “Nothing to be done”, “V: All my life I’ve tried to put it from me…and I resume the struggle”, “E: (anxious) and we? …Where do we come in?”
Identity <=>. Verification of senses, reality and existence
(“V: Ah, there you are!” “E: Am I?”)
• Dehumanisation of individual
Godot’s identity is irrelevant
• Meaninglessness of life- occurrences only through luck, misfortune and chaos -
pondering why 1/3 thieves were saved
conversation about health of E’s lungs (“My left lung is very weak! … But my right lung is as sound as a bell!”)
• Unanswered questions and unsolved actions represent chaos of existence- (“mankind’s vain search for answers within the vacuum of our universe”- ***Heidegger)
e.g. ‘hat gag’, “who is Godot? Who beats Gogo?” symbolizes “Is there a god? Who is responsible for our suffering?”
Habit, routine, ritual
• the individual’s freedom of choice places the individual in a state of anxiety, as the individual is surrounded by almost infinite choices - ***Kierkagaard
(E and V consider hanging themselves, are unable to act through anxiety) (anxiety at choice of action makes E and V immobile despite deciding to leave- “E: Well, shall we go” “V: Yes, lets go)
• - Habit protects us from whatever can neither be predicted or controlled
(“V: habit is a great deadener”)
1. Tragic comedy
• Used to mock all human endeavour- characters symbolize human condition as a period of waiting- mankind achieves nothing (see existentialism)
Godot –
Characterization- characters epitomize all of mankind; showing the full range of human emotion, showing the extent of humanity (both physical and metaphysical representation)
(Estragon refers to himself as Adam)
(E represents a man of the body- e.g. Boots, V represents a man of the mind- e.g. philosophical issues such as time and existence (“V: Its too much for one man…On the other hand what’s the good of losing heart now, that’s what I say. We should have thought of it a million years ago, in the nineties” “E: Ah stop blathering and help me off with this bloody thing”)
• Balance of suffering with excitement and happiness
(e.g. Pozzo’s arrival and E’s contemplation of an erection)
• Balance of actions-acts of random violence and anger with signs of affection
e.g. nicknames of Didi and Gogo (“V: Forgive me… Come, Didi… Give me your hand… Embrace me!”)
• - Pessimistic view: generic characters cannot escape waiting for Godot, each other or their general situation, fear being tied and dependant on each other
- Optimistic view: shows the range of human emotion and the need to share experiences alongside the suffering of finite existence- governed by the past, acting in the present and uncertain of the future
Contradicting emotions and actions (violence to sympathy, philosophical to banal)- represents contradictions in human nature
Pozzo’s tyrant authoritarian attitude towards Lucky (“Up pig!”) contrasting the next moment with self-pity and care (“I can’t bear it… any longer… the way he goes on… you’ve no idea…its terrible”)

argh. does anyone know how to approach the approaches to acting question for meyerhold and boal? do we link them through political theatre? or experimental theatre? or physical theatre? or say constructivist theatre?
