Breath : Interpretation Challenge and Video shoots.

Breath : Interpretation Challenge and Video shoots. 



Hello readers!


             Here is my blog on Samuel Buckett's Shortest Play "Breath". This task is given by Dilip Barad sir. If you want to know, Click here to know more about blogs.


            There is an Interpretation of Shortest Play by Samuel Buckett's. Giving Interpretation of Shortest Play is thirty seconds only. Martin Esslin first gave the term 'Theatre of the Absurd.' He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1969. Few of his notable works are Waiting for Godot, Endgame, Happy Days and others.



If we look at the script of the play, it is as follows.


CURTAIN Up


1. Faint light on stage littered with miscellaneous rubbish. Hold about five seconds.

2. Faint brief cry and immediate inspiration and slow increase of light together reaching maximum - together in about ten seconds. Silence and hold for about five seconds.

3. Expiration and slow decrease of light together reach minimum together (light as in 1) in about ten seconds and immediately cry as before. Silence and hold about five seconds. 


CURTAIN Down

-------------------------------------


# Interpretation of the Play

        If we look at play and interpretation it can be shown that it is absurd and meaningless. Samuel Beckett is associated with Theatre of Absurd, his another play, "Waiting for Godot" is also an absurd play.


The interpretation of the play is very much significant. It shows life. Birth and Death both binary which show absurdity. There is one blue bowel like thing in which the first light is a little bit through then it suddenly goes off and then it breaks down. It symbolizes the human life or their thoughts they have first hope then slowly it goes down and ultimately it will be broken down by society.


# Picturization of the play


The script of the play is very short but I try to interpret and try to shoot very short videos for dramatizing purposes. In this video I have used crying and breath. Video opens with birth and with interrogation of death.

Thinking Activity : Teaching Language Through Literature

Thinking Activity : Teaching Language Through Literature  Teaching language through literature is a very important aspect. But questions are raised in our mind. Why teach literature for language teaching? So here are some points…. Teach literature to developing learner autonomy by indicating that teacher is not the fount of knowledge Literature stimulate students to interact with the texts creatively focusing on the text rather than about the text etc…. Here some points to ponder : 1 ) What sort of activities or tasks can be designed to teach language using a 'novel' or 'short story'. Here some points through that activities or task can be designed to teach language using a novel.  • Using beginnings and endings for guessing work :   This activity matching the beginning and the ending of the novel. If we have more novel and we can find similar ending for that , this activity is preferable. So we have to guess which novel is really there and how language is used in tha...
