Lecoq-trained actors
Lecoq-trained actors are performers who have studied at the Jacques Lecoq School in Paris, renowned for its physical theatre training. Their approach emphasizes movement, body awareness, clowning, and improvisation to develop expressive, versatile performances. Instead of relying solely on dialogue, they explore storytelling through physicality, gestures, and spatial awareness, enabling them to embody a wide range of characters and emotions. This training encourages creativity, spontaneity, and a deep connection between body and mind, making these actors highly adaptable for various theatrical styles, including mime, mask work, and avant-garde performances.
