Due to safety risks the following would be best but cant be used:

Dry Wall/Plaster Board

Dry wall is to heavy and causes allot of dust plus it is very expensive meaning that there can only be one take and minimal testing. Protection will be needed to break through meaning that it will not work for continuity.

Polystyrene & Paint

Polystyrene crumbles upon impact, is hard to control and falls at a very slow rate making it a unrealistic material to use.

Clay

Clay is expensive for the amount that is needed, it can be heavy by itself and will not hold up on its own but can be used with other materials to create the crumbly texture of bricks.

Clay & Sand

Clay mixed with sand creates the desired texture but the sand makes the clay even heavier, this could harm the actor if it collapses on them.

Grout & Soil

Grout on its own is surprisingly light and grainy but with soil mixed in it becomes to heavy to stand alone and there can be no guaranty that sifting out stones and harmful debris will not harm someone when putting up the wall or breaking it down.

Wood & Chipboard

Wood is a good material because if its thin enough it can be broken and stand buy itself, the main problem is that if its untreated it will splinter. That being said we might need wood beams for support.

Paper Mashe 

Much like other papers Paper Mashe ripped instead of crumbles, the glue hold the newspaper together more making it hard to make a clean break through, the glue does add weight to the newspaper so it falls rather than flutters like other thin papers.
