The author became a leading member of Peter Brook's theatre company, despite speaking neither English nor French and has been involved in the training of Brook's company for many years. The author's account includes an explanation of the genesis of the techniques and exercises which have formed the basis of their internationally celebrated work.

Author Biography:

Lorna Marshall has taught physical acting to performers in almost every area, from ballet dancers to classical actors and opera singers, and from performance artists to circus acts. She has worked with companies such as The Royal Shakespeare Company, Shared Experience, The Royal National Theatre, and The Consort of Musicke. She runs international workshops and is currently Honorary Research Fellow at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and Adviser on Actor Training at the New National Theatre, Tokyo. Yoshi Oida, A Japanese speaking neither English nor French, became the first member of Peter Brook's international theatre company in Paris in 1968. Trained in the traditional Japanese arts of Noh theatre, Kabuki dance and Bunraku storytelling, since joining he has become a leading member of the company. He participated in the extraordinary explorative journey through Africa, and has played starring roles in The Ik, The Conference of the Birds, The Mahabharata and The Tempest. He was made Chevalier de l'Ordre des Art et des Lettres in 1992, and in 2007, made an officer of the same order.
