The most successful modern drama is
one in which the imagination is provoked
and a stimulation of the critical processes
is begun within the audience," according
to Hcinz-Uwe Haus, an East German
director from the German Democratic
Republic.
This view was given in a lecture on
"Drama in the GDR", sponsored jointly
by the English and Modern Language
departments on Thursday Sept. 25.
The talk, attended by approximately
45 people, centered on the "rules of thumb
in Brechtian staging methods" and the
director's opinions cohcering these
methods.
Brecht's work in the early and mid
50s had a widespread influence in East
Germany, said Uwe Haus, and this in
fluence serves as an illustration of the no
tion that "art not only represents man's
image, but helps to shape it also," he
added.
Uwe Haus is visiting the United States
for the first time by invitation of a com-'
mittee made up of three Pennsylvania
schools-Philadelphia, Temple and Villa
Nova; he will be directing a production of
"Caucasian Chalk Circle" at Villa Nova.
His schedule was adjusted, however, to
include visits to Kansas State, the uni
versities of Kansas and Colorado, and
Washington University in St. Louis.
Uwe Haus received training in act
ing and humanities at Humboldt University
in Berlin, and underwent director training
at the Deutsches Theater in Berlin. He
worked as a director and actor in Senften
berg and Brandenburg from 1964 to 1968,
and then became a director at the
Deutsches Theater from 1971 to 1975.
He also served as guest director in the Cy
priot Theatre in Nicosia, Cyprus for a
five-year period beginning in 1975. He
currently is teaching at the Institute for
Theater Directing in Berlin.
In addition, Uwe Haus has had
numerous television stagings and radio
presentations in the GDR, and has directed
10 major productions the last 10 years
in Germany, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Poland and
Italy.
