Major acting pattern of western traditional values of emotional realism, is extremel-y requires that it must be realistic and natural. Acting that is not only matter of
recovery of control, technic, imitated experience, but also making and delivering new internal life and sense of being. Stanislavsky System, that scientific development of acting pattern, is influenced lots of actor's theory of acting
Bertolt Brecht who disagreed with major acting trends, he criticizes that ideal of Aristotelian drama, also he believes major trends of acting which only concern phenomenon of its appearance, are limited acting's value. Acting technique which produces alienation effect is the exact opposite of that which aims at empathy. The actor applying the alienation effect is bound not to try to bring the empathy operation.
Bertolt Brecht creates Epic Theater which include criticism of community and reorganization. Mean while, he points alienation effect which against with Aristotle's traditional way. The alienation effect in his plays resulted from his ability to keep the audience emotionally detach from he character's situations. His best audiences are alert and critical.
The actor of Epic Theater uses multiple technic which break away him from character. Audience forgets himself during the character and they have questions and criti-cism instead of united with illusion of theater. It is related Epic Theater's goal.
There are three principles of alienation effect which make audience have questions and criticism. First, it must block audience's illusion. Second, it must excluded empathy of audience. Third, it must prohibit actor's absorption and transformation.
For alienation effect, actor must give up the technic that audience can absorpt to actor's character. Although, actor plays character in the roll, it can't be seems like absorpt into character. So alienation effect is exist as negative position of representative acting style. Representational acting doesn't agree with audience's existence, but alienation effect did agree with it.
Absolutism of stage can disappears and actor guides as demonstrator or witness f-or helping audience can make a decision about scene of stage through acting style of Epic Theater.
