Published in France in 1987; this is the book in which Lecoq first set out his philosophy of human movement; and the way it takes expressive form in a wide range of different performance traditions. He traces the history of pantomime; sets out his definition of the components of the art of mime; and discusses the explosion of physical theatre in the second half of the twentieth century. Interviews with major theatre practitioners Ariane Mnouchkine and Jean-Louis Barrault by Jean Perret; together with chapters by Perret on Eacute;tienne Decroux and Marcel Marceau; fill out the historical material written by Lecoq; and a final section by Alain Gautreacute; celebrates the many physical theatre practitioners working in the 1980s.

How they lived long agoBy ChrijeffThis large-format collection includes more than 850 illustrations culled from British and American magazines c. 1850-1930. Silhouettes; engravings; and pen-and-ink drawings portray youngsters of all ages alone; with their toys; their pets; their friends; and their families; mostly doing what kids do best--having fun. In fact; though these illustrations come from much simpler times; you can see; in looking through them; that children havent really changed that much in the last 80 years or so. From portraits to vignettes and action pictures; these spot illos should inspire craft projects and original stories galore.
