Review # 1 was written on 2015-12-30 00:00:00 Salvatore Oliveri This book focuses more on philosophical ideals and has more of a poetic outlook on movement than Lecoq's The Moving Body, which takes a more concrete step toward paying out a pedagogy, but it is nevertheless an important read for anyone who wishes to get a stronger grasp of Lecoq's thoughts on movement.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-15 00:00:00 Keith Beckett Now that I am getting ready for my further theatre studies, I read a book by Jacques Lecoq. For those of you who are not theatre geeks, Lecoq is a man who specializes in the movement of the body in theatre. I had heard lots about him, but had never read anything by him. And in a way I do not feel this book is a 100% by him since it includes lots of interviews and fragments written by other theatre people. And that's what it is: a sort of compilation of articles/interviews/essays about how Lecoq founded his own school and about physical theatre, etc. It includes things about clown, mime, a little bit about buffoon, a lot about commedia dell'arte, etc. In the beginning I felt it quite easy to read, but as I read more it became a bit more difficult, but I found it quite interesting. It was good to finally read something by him, whom I had heard so much about. Also because it was interesting to compare his opinions to those of John Wright (whose book I read last year). It is quite a short book, although I'm not sure I would recommend it to someone who didn't have previous knowledge about theatre or a real interest, since it can get a bit "technical" and exemplify a lot, telling you about history, and companies that exist, etc.
