	Scottish Arts Council - Archive - Theme: Physical theatre
		So wide is the range of styles and influences clustered under the term, the usefulness of a definition may be challenged.Â In deed, a concept embraced by physical theatre is that theatre can be produced without the confines of definition of the artform.Â Â Theatre practitioners involved in physical styles often positively reject the term.
		Some attempt to describe physical theatre as âabout the reinvigoration of theatre practiceâ.Â Text is one component of the work, but the importance of non-text elements â“ visual as well as physical - are weighty.Â Not just decorative or complementary, they shape the content as well as the context of the piece.
		The idea is to relate the body to the theatrical space around them.Â Traditional theatre appeals on a mental and often emotional level.Â Physical theatre, however, appeals on a physical and emotional level.Â It can aim to provide a more immediate and encompassing theatre experience.

	Physical Theatre :: Theatre : Gourt
		Physical theatre is a catch-all term used to describe any mode of performance that pursues storytelling through primarily physical means.
		There are several quite distinct traditions of performance which all describe themselves using the term "physical theatre", which has led to a lot of confusion as to what the definition of physical theatre actually is.
		However, it is often difficult to draw a distinct boundary between what is and what is not physical theatre, and distinctions are often made quite arbitrarily by critics and performing companies.

		"Physical Theatre" has become a catch all phrase that incorporates many movement based theatre forms, with incredibly diverse companies adopting the term to describe themselves.
		How to describe an art form with no name is a question that plagues all of us who fall outside of 'traditional theatre'.
		Even though another physical theatre company may present a style completely different to our expression, the audience will leave with their concept of physical theatre tied to the images they just witnessed.This is a huge responsibility for the artist who claims the title.

	MeyerholdWorks Physical Theatre - Meyerhold's Biomechanics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Biomechanics is an approach to actor training and to theatre developed by Russian actor, director and teacher, Vsevolod Meyerhold during the 1920’ and 1930’s.
		In 1972 Moscow’s prestigious Theatre of Satire invited the teacher of Biomechanics from Meyerhold’s own school, Nikolai Kustov, to train a group of the Theatre’s young actors.
		Thus while students run, jump and work every muscle and joint in a dizzying array of exercises during the initial physical training phase of the work, they are already required to be continually aware of their relationship to the space and to the other actors in their "ensemble"-as well as their own "inner movement."

	The British Theatre Guide: Getting Physical - Total Theatre and the British
		British theatre, it is clear, is very text-based, in spite of the influence of writers/directors like Steven Berkoff and companies such as DV8.
		One wonders why this is. I'm tempted to suggest that, perhaps, Britain has a richer theatre tradition than most continental countries and so doesn't need to experiment with other forms of drama.
		Jingoism aside (and I'm sure there's a strong element of that in our approach to theatre in the rest of Europe - and outside), there is an innate conservatism in the British which expesses itself in all sorts of ways.
