Jacques Lecoq

acques LeCoq, a French practitioner and Augusto Boal, a Brazilian practitioner both aim to take their actors and the audience on a journey of discovery. Both Practitioners believed in ‘Freeing’ the body and making it ‘De-mechanicalized’ to enable full interpretation. LeCoq and Boal both use emotion, imagination, extensive body movement, playfulness and political matters to create their methods of theatrical practice. Jacques LeCoq and Augusto Boal had fairly similar philosophies but had extremely

In this essay, I will argue that the use of masks is vital in creating a believable and consistent character for performance. The techniques I have used in masks not only help define a character but have improved my improvisation skills. Jacques Lecoq wanted to “explore the hidden gestures, emotions and underlying states of a character, which we express through mimages” [2002: P.109]. I incorporated both the mimages and Seven States of Tension to help me to determine how my mask; Draco, would react

How has physical theatre developed over time? Physical theatre is a form of performance where movement and physicality of the body has the main part within a performance.

The outburst was stuck in my throat, I must confess, since Tim Cook, Apple’s super CEO post-Steven Jobs found it in his best interest to declare in public his sexual orientation.
