 Theatre of movement and gesture.
Author: Lecoq, Jacques Published: 2006 Jacques Lecoq was probably the most influential theorist and teacher of what is now known as physical theatre. Theatre of movement and gesture, first published in France in 1987, is the book in which Lecoq first set out his philosophy of human movement, and the way it takes expressive form from a wide range of different performance traditions. Lecoq traces the history of mime, sets out his definition of the components of the art of mime, and discusses the explosion of physical theatre in the second half of the twentieth century. |
