L'École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq, Physical theatre school in 10th arrondissement, Paris, France
L'École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq is a physical theatre training institute in Paris focusing on movement techniques, acrobatics, and stage combat. The intensive two-year program teaches these arts through daily practical work and experimental exercises.
The school was founded in 1956 by Jacques Lecoq and originally stood in a different Paris location before relocating. His vision established a new teaching method that placed the body and spatial awareness as the foundation of theatre.
The school bears the name of Jacques Lecoq, who placed the art of movement at the heart of theatre. Here students discover how the body itself becomes a storyteller and how space and rhythm create powerful connections with audiences.
Daily training combines physical preparation, movement analysis, and improvisation work with collaborative projects. The school is a focused learning space and may only be accessible during specific public performances or events.
A special section of the school explores movement through focused study of stagecraft, space, and rhythm. This laboratory allows students to discover the hidden geometry of how bodies move and perform on stage.
