The Decroux Sourcebook

The Decroux Sourcebook is the first point of reference for any student of the hidden master of twentieth century theatre. This book collates a wealth of key material on Etienne Decroux, including: an English translation of Patrice Pezins Imaginary Interview, in which Decroux discusses mimes place in the theatre. previously unpublished articles by Decroux from Frances Bibiothque Nationale. essays from Decrouxs fellow innovators Eugenio Barba and Edward Gordon Craig, explaining the synthesis of theory and practice in his work. Etienne Decrouxs pioneering work in physical theatre is here richly illustrated not only by a library of source material, but also with a gallery of images following his life, work and influences. The Decroux Sourcebook is an ideal companion to Thomas Leabharts Etienne Decroux in the Routledge Performance Practitioners series, offering key primary and secondary resources to those conducting research at all levels.
