The Routledge Companion to Jacques Lecoq presents a thorough
overview and analysis of Jacques Lecoq's life, work and philosophy
of theatre. Through an exemplary collection of specially
commissioned chapters from leading writers, specialists and
practitioners, it draws together writings and reflections on his
pedagogy, his practice, and his influence on the wider theatrical
environment. It is a comprehensive guide to the work and legacy of
one of the major figures of Western theatre in the second half of
the twentieth century. In a four-part structure over fifty
chapters, the book examines: The historical, artistic and social
context out of which Lecoq's work and pedagogy arose, and its
relation to such figures as Jacques Copeau, Antonin Artaud,
Jean-Louis Barrault, and Dario Fo. Core themes of Lecoq's
International School of Theatre, such as movement, play,
improvisation, masks, language, comedy, and tragedy, investigated
by former teachers and graduates of the School. The significance
and value of his pedagogical approaches in the context of
contemporary theatre practices. The diaspora of performance
practice from the School, from the perspective of many of the most
prominent artists themselves. This is an important and
authoritative guide for anyone interested in Lecoq's work.
