In this series of essays, Thomas Leabhart delves into a comprehensive exploration and analysis of Etienne Decroux's artistic genealogy. Having undergone a four-year apprenticeship under Decroux, Leabhart embarked on a quest to uncover the influences and inspirations that shaped Decroux's artistic journey. Decades of diligent research unearthed remarkable correspondences, connecting various fields such as art history, philosophy, and anthropology. These interdisciplinary forays deepened Leabhart's admiration for Decroux and his kin, who defied traditional boundaries. Spanning a 30-year period, these essays converge at a darkened cinema in Prague, where audiences were astounded by the sudden reversal of fortune of a wooden doll. These essays delve into the origins of that astonishment, further examine Decroux's family tree, explore how Copeau's and Decroux's keen observation of animal movement influenced their actor training, document the challenging and paradoxical improvisations at Decroux's workshop, and acknowledge Decroux's debt to sculpture, poster art, sport, and masks.
This series of essays holds immense value for students, scholars, and practitioners in the fields of theatre and performance studies. It offers a rich tapestry of insights and perspectives, shedding light on the artistic heritage of Etienne Decroux and his profound impact on the artistic landscape.
