Reviews
He taught us how to be artists * Steven Berkoff, on Jacques Lecoq *
In a very accessible language and with clear exemplifications and illustrative drawings, Lecoq sheds light on a vision of mime considered as training for theatre and for life ... Both for the actor, and for the researcher interested in Lecoq's theatre, this book is an essential read; for the theatre historian it is also a theoretical source on "dramatic mime" and on the expressive body that transversally influenced dance and theatre in the twentieth century. * Skene: Journal of Theatre and Drama Studies *
