TEAM in TIKBIT

 Things I know to be true was full of every aspect of TEAM. I feel that tension was almost a constant over the course of the show, with very brief comedic or other breaks. Whenever one of the children have their dramatic scene in which we find out about the given hardship in their life, the tension between them and the parents is extremely intense. There is a huge variety of emotion during the show. We get to see this family dynamic and I think that when we are able to relate to something we can experience the emotions on a more profound level. Sadness might have been the most prevalent emotion throughout the show but there were definitely some heart felt moments too. I think that the atmosphere of the show changed multiple times. In a literal sense, there were the season changes. I think that using the season changes to show a passage of time sort of cleared up the atmosphere that had developed in a past scene. Lastly, I think that the meaning of the show was that there are always bigger problems than your own, and maybe to have some perspective. I feel like there might have been more but I'm not exactly sure.

Both scenes are set in very similar locations to start out, but the difference in lighting changes the whole mood of the scene. In Stanislavski's, there is a much warmer light that accentuates the sad feeling, but in Brecht's there is an industrial light and there is barely a sense of remorse or pain. Also Stanislavski's starts out slowly like a normal start to a scene but Brecht's sort of jumps right in. And also in Brecht's, rather than going through the items in sadness, Ophelia just takes items out one at a time and steals what she can, which is a very different scenario. Yet another strange aspect of these scenes is the way Ophelia just breaks out into song. Its just very odd and unnerving especially...

Mobile Review

 As a company The Paper Birds are trying to address political and socioeconomic issues through theater. I think that the topic of class has been thoroughly explored in theater as a whole, but Mobile approached it in a totally unique way. The show it’s self was wild to me in how inclusive of the audience it was and I even just watching it I felt like I was there because of the filming. Mobile also looked at class on a more intimate level because of how personal it felt learning the story and background of the character; although I was a little taken aback when I found out that she wasn’t actually the described person.
