Lecoq's pedagogy

Jacques Lecoq's pedagogy focuses on the physicality of performance and the importance of movement in storytelling. He emphasized the actor's body as a primary tool for expression, encouraging students to explore improvisation, teamwork, and the emotional connections within physicality. Lecoq believed in learning through experience, often using games and exercises to develop skills. His approach cultivated creativity and adaptability, encouraging performers to embody various characters and ideas, drawing on aspects of commedia dell'arte and physical theater. Ultimately, Lecoq aimed to help students understand and express human emotions and narratives through movement and collaboration.
