With his research on actors' potential for expression via
corporeality, Etienne Decroux (1898-1991) provided an important
impetus to 20th century theatrical practice that was taken up well
beyond his native France. At the same time, however, he was unable
to extricate himself from insoluble theoretical contradictions
serious enough to make the failure to resolve them an integral
feature both of his work and his biography. Drawing upon source
material, archival studies and a critical reading of his texts,
AImpossible BodiesA supplies an introduction to Decroux' work and
analyzes the contradictions at the heart of it as symptomatic of
the development of theatre and drama over the last 100 years.
