What is Physical Theatre?

Here is the latest video which looks at Physical Theatre.

This video can be used to give an overview of Physical Theatre as an art form and it’s main practitioners.

At its simplest, you could define Physical theatre as a form of theatre that puts emphasis on movement rather than dialogue. As a result it’s often abstract in style, using movement in a stylised and representational way.

With the expression of ideas choreographed through movement, such performances use very little or no dialogue at all.
