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 Pezin€s €˜Imaginary Interview€, in which Decroux discusses mime€s place in the theatre.
• previously unpublished articles by Decroux from France€s Bibioth¨que Nationale.
• essays from Decroux€s fellow innovators Eugenio Barba and Edward Gordon Craig, explaining the synthesis of theory and practice in his work.

Etienne Decroux€s 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 Leabhart€s Etienne Decroux in the Routledge Performance Practitioners series, offering key primary and secondary resources to those conducting research at all levels.
