Reviews

''In this very impressive book Nixon weaves her chosen elements together with great assuredness and creative acumen. The Imagining Body is many things: a theoretical guide to where Lecoq and Bachelard meet; a sharing of the practical utility of air, fire, earth, and water; a primer on imagination; a personal, reflective account of a long-standing Lecoq-inspired practice; and a repository of fascinating practitioner interviews. In less capable hands, this could be a confusing mix. But here, ideas accumulate and mix in highly productive and stimulating ways for the reader.'' Professor Jonathan Pitches, Head of School of Performance and Cultural Industries, University of Leeds
