Book Reviews of The Moving Body: Teaching Creative Theatre
Book Review: Great for Teachers and Students
Summary: 5 Stars
Superb text. Worked out of this book, page by page with 10 college theatre students. Highly recommend it for academic use and for personal reading. Very solid text helpful in gaining a strong foundation in movement theatre that is rapidly overtaking the mainstream. Many of LeCoq's ideas are visible everywhere in the NY theatre. Pig Iron Theatre Company is a great example of a group of LeCoq trained performers, and is also a resource for learning more, if you are in the Philly/New York area.
Summary of The Moving Body: Teaching Creative Theatre
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 include here. "The Moving Body" is the written legacy of a great theatrical imagination.Theater Books
