ABSTRACT
For most of the titles that figure in the Performance Practitioners series, this chapter will focus on one production directed by the theatre practitioner in question. Although Lecoq certainly directed professionally when working in Italy between 1948 and 1956, and did so again sporadically in Europe for television, film and the stage up until the 1980s, there is little documented evidence from which to study such work. More importantly, however, it would seem strange to focus on Lecoq as director when the overwhelming thrust of this account has been to consider his contribution to world theatre as teacher and theorist of actor training.
