Enacting Lecoq: Movement in Theatre, Cognition, and Life: Cognitive Studies in Literature and Performance

Autor Maiya Murphy
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 10 ian 2019
This book examines the theatrical movement-based pedagogy of Jacques Lecoq (1921-1999) through the lens of the cognitive scientific paradigm of enaction. The conversation between these two both uncovers more of the possible cognitive processes at work in Lecoq pedagogy and proposes how Lecoq’s own practical and philosophical approach could have something to offer the development of the enactive paradigm. Understanding Lecoq pedagogy through enaction can shed new light on the ways that movement, key to Lecoq’s own articulation of his pedagogy, might cognitively constitute the development of Lecoq’s ultimate creative figure – the actor-creator. Through an enactive lens, the actor-creator can be understood as not only a creative figure, but also the manifestation of a fundamentally new mode of cognitive selfhood. This book engages with Lecoq pedagogy’s significant practices and principles including the relationship between the instructor and student, identifications, mime, play, mask work, language, improvisation, and movement analysis.

Recenzii

“Compared to other texts in the field of theatre, Murphy’s Enacting Lecoq is unique both in its Enactivist approach and the way in which it focuses on the foundational versus executional abilities of the actor-creator. … it could be a hugely important text for graduate students in Theatre Education, Movement Pedagogy, Applied Theatre, as well as acting teachers, whose students will deeply benefit from an incorporation of Murphy’s insights into their pedagogy.” (Jordan Rosin,Theatre Topics, Vol. 31 (1), March, 2021)
