5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for Teachers and Students,
By Sumner Alsace "Sum" (NY, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Moving Body: Teaching Creative Theatre (Paperback)
Superb text. Worked out of this book, page by page with 10 college theatre students. Highly recommend it for academic use and for personal reading. Very solid text helpful in gaining a strong foundation in movement theatre that is rapidly overtaking the mainstream. Many of LeCoq's ideas are visible everywhere in the NY theatre. Pig Iron Theatre Company is a great example of a group of LeCoq trained performers, and is also a resource for learning more, if you are in the Philly/New York area.

A very good book for any person who loves theatre, the real one.
