Practitioner
Known principally as a teacher rather than as a performer or director, Jacques Lecoq’s work on comic and physical performance has been immensely influential, thanks to his collaborators and students.
Category
Physical comedy prioritises the body as a signifier in performance, playing on comic dimensions and potential, and requiring a level of training that focuses on gymnastic as well as comic skills.
