ABSTRACT

Pig Iron Theatre is a physical theatre company rooted in Lecoq pedagogy and ensemble theatre practice and is dedicated to the creation of new and exuberant performance works that defy easy categorization. Since 1995, Gabriel Quinn Bauriedel has been one of the leading artists with the company, co-creating nearly all of the company’s 25 original works of theatre and touring them internationally and throughout the states. In the following interview, Bauriedel discusses Pig Iron’s physical theatre approach, with a retrospective focus on company work and process.
