Abstract

This chapter explores the development of mime and physical theatre as a predominantly European form of theatre (although influenced by performance practice in America and Asia). The chapter examines the ways that contemporary European physical theatre was shaped by historical theatrical influences. It traces the ways in which different lineages of practice and the broad shape of European contemporary cultural history have created distinct ways of making physical theatre performance. Finally, it examines the organizational structures within this field of practice and the ways in which they have determined access, and diversity.
