  • an historical introduction to his life and the context in which he worked
  • an analysis of his teaching methods and principles of body work, movement, creativity, and contemporary theatre
  • detailed studies of the work of Theatre de Complicite and Mummenschanz
  • practical exercises demonstrating Lecoq's distinctive approach to actor training.
