1.1 Introduction This article is a visual representation of all my ideas and findings that I have gained while creating a realism workshop. With prior knowledge of Realism, I was able to focus my research on how the practice is different from others and understand its aspects. The research gave me a solid knowledge base for my workshop, but it was then up to me to find a way to present this knowledge to audiences effectively.1.2 What inspired me to research Realism Theatre? During the two years of the Diploma Program Theater We naturally studied a particular topic that fascinated me and ever since then I have wanted to understand it better. My class saw a production of Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun and this inspired me to investigate another similar theater practice. What I loved about Hansberry's A Raisin in the Sun was how the audience was enthralled by the performance without having interacted at all. Looking through my diary, I found that I had written: “The most interesting thing for me was the way the audience was fascinated by the show even if they were not involved in it at all. The acting was so realistic and characterful that the audience felt as if they were in the family apartment as a "fly on the wall", so to speak. The ability to immerse the audience in the performance without having to address them directly is the embodiment of realism.”(October 25, 2013) Experiencing this form of theater led me to start thinking about theater in a new light. I realized that theater is not just about entertaining, but can be a powerful tool for audience members to learn about different perspectives... middle of paper... Realism." The Drama Teacher.
