Review
No one who worked with the movement teacher Litz Pisk, either as actor or student, will ever forget the sheer theatrical impact of her own movement, at once dynamic and sculptural, intense and totally possessed. - --George Hall, former Head of Acting, Central School of Speech and Drama
Litz Pisk was a theatre visionary who introduced to the field of actors' movement a startlingly new approach, which remains ground-breaking to this day. With her background in the visual arts, Litz Pisk viewed the actor's body as a piece of dynamic sculpture capable of expressing to the audience people and places they had never known. However, a special kind of physical training was necessary before the actor could reach 'a state of readiness' where the body could respond totally to the imagination. In these pages, we begin to gain an insight into how Litz Pisk went about achieving this. - --Sue Lefton, Movement Director and Teacher
