This book examines Jacques Copeau, a leading figure in the development of twentieth-century theatre practice, a pioneer in actor-training, physical theatre and ensemble acting, and a key innovator in the movement to de-centralize theatre and culture to the regions.
Noe reissued, Jacques Copeau combines:
an overview of Copeau's life and work
an analysis of his key ideas
a detailed commentary of his 1917 production of Moliere's late farce Les Fourberies de Scapin - the opening performance of his influential New York season
a series of practical exercises offering an introduction to Copeau's working methods.
As a first step towards critical understanding, and as an initial exploration before going on to further, primary research, Routledge Performance Practitioners are unbeatable value for today's student.

Mark Evans is an author, entrepreneur, chef, and calisthenics athlete - and a true health and wellness enthusiast. After struggling with his weight throughout his childhood, Mark dedicated himself to studying nutrition, fitness, and mindset so he could help others fighting the same battle he once fought. His practical approach to fitness and nutrition has helped clients lose weight, build lean muscle, and walk into the world feeling confident - inside and out. No gimmicks, no shortcuts - just principles that work when you actually apply them. When Mark isn't helping clients transform their bodies, you'll find him surfing at the beach or in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes.
