Description

A step-by-step guide to Physical Theatre in both theory and practice - full of detailed exercises and inspiring ideas. In Through the Body; based on twelve years of teaching physical theatre; Dymphna Callery introduces the reader to the principles behind the work of certain key 20th-century theatre practitioners (Artaud; Grotowski; Meyerhold; Brook and Lecoq; among others) and offers exercises by which their theories can be turned into practice and their principles explored in action. The book takes the form of a series of workshops starting with the preparation of the body through Awareness; Articulation; Energy and Neutrality. A section on Mask-work is followed by further work on the body; investigating Presence; Complicite; Play; Audience; Rhythm; Sound and E-motion. The book - and the work - culminates in sections on Devising and on the Physical Text. There is also a thorough bibliography and a contact list of training courses in the UK and abroad.
