Theatre of Movement and Gesture

Více o knize

Focusing on the philosophy of human movement, this book explores its expressive forms across various performance traditions. It delves into the history of pantomime and defines the essential components of mime, while also examining the surge of physical theatre in the late twentieth century. Featuring interviews with prominent theatre figures like Ariane Mnouchkine and Jean-Louis Barrault, alongside contributions from Jean Perret and a celebration of 1980s physical theatre practitioners by Alain Gautré, the work enriches its historical context with personal insights.
