The Moving Body: Teaching Creative Theatre

Jacques Lecoq is one of the great names of contemporary theater. An inspiration to untold numbers of perfomers and theater practitioners, he expounded both a philosophy and one of the truly original methods of performing. As a young physiotherapist after the Second World War, Lecoq learned about how the physical body is organized. His fascination with commedia dell'arte and other forms of movement led him to found first the Theater School of the Piccolo Teatro in Milan, and then the International School of Mime and Theater, where he worked tirelessly until his death in 1999. Lecoq's workshops and master classes became legendary, and changed the face of international theater. In The Moving Body, translated into English for the first time, Lecoq shares his unique philosophy of performance, improvisation, masks, movement, and gesture. Neutral mask, character masks and counter-masks, bouffons, acrobatics, commedia, clowns: all the famous Lecoq techniques are included here.

Description

This book is a practical and theoretical exploration of the embodied imagining processes of devised performance in which the human and more-than-human are co-implicated in the creative process.

This study brings together the work of French theatre pedagogue Jacques Lecoq (1921-1999) and French philosopher of science and the imagination Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962) to explore the notion of the imagination as embodied, enactive and embedded in the devising process. An exploration of compelling correspondences with Bachelard, whose writings imbue Lecoq's teaching ethos, offers new practical and theoretical perspectives on Lecoq's 'poetic body' in contemporary devising practices. Interweaving first-hand accounts by the author and interviews with contemporary international creative practitioners who have graduated from or have been deeply influenced by Lecoq, Imagining Bodies in Performer Training interrogates how his teachings have been adapted, developed and extended in various cultural, political and historical settings, in Europe, Scandinavi
