Shakespeare and Lecoq : A Practical Guide for Actors, Directors, Students and Teachers, Paperback / softback Book

Shakespeare and Lecoq : A Practical Guide for Actors, Directors, Students and Teachers Paperback / softback

Part of the Arden Performance Companions series

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

This book provides actors, directors, teachers and students with a clear, practical guide to applying the work of influential theatre practitioner Jacques Lecoq to the process of rehearsing or workshopping the Shakespeare text. Written by theatre practitioner Ed Woodall, who trained with Lecoq himself, and Shakespeare academic Abigail Rokison-Woodall, this guide begins with warm-ups and ensemble-building, and moves through explorations of the story, the world of the play, the text, character emotion, thought and physicality and staging. Lecoq’s method often relies on ‘play’, and play is often seen as trivial or inconsequential.

This book argues that the more playful you are, the more playfully you investigate your speech or scene and the more physically motivated that playfulness is, the more vital and lifelike your acting of Shakespeare will be.
