Sculpting the Body; a Theatre of Physicality

A contemporary theatre form often known simply as physical theatre – this documentary attempts to explore some of the creative processes involved in expressing a performative artform which includes the spoken word but originates primarily from the human body. It does this by following a group of actors and students in their attempts to embody everything from animals to colours to strange masks … at the same time it links the work to certain aspects of human cognition, as well as underlining the importance of ‘play-and-error’ for the creative act.
