Theatre of Movement and Gesture

Jacques Lecoq founded l'École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq in 1956, developing teaching methods that have inspired numerous practitioners of physical theatre, in which gesture is at the basis of the performance. David Bradby is Professor of Drama and Theatre Studies at Royal Holloway, University of London. He was the translator of Jacques Lecoq's The Moving Body (Methuen, 2000).
