Mark Evans

I am Professor of Theatre Training and Education at Coventry University.

I trained in theatre at the Ecole Jacques Lecoq, and with Philippe Gaulier and Monika Pagneux, in Paris. My interests are in actor training, movement training for actors, physical theatre and theatre education. As well as 'Movement Training for the Modern Actor', Jacques Copeau' and 'The Actor Training Reader', I have also contributed to 'The Routledge Companion to Commedia dell'Arte' (Routledge), 'Encountering Ensemble' (Bloomsbury/Methuen), and I co-authored a chapter on Jacques Copeau with Cass Fleming (Goldsmiths, University of London) for 'The Great European Stage Directors, Vol. 3' (Bloomsbury/Methuen, general editor Simon Shepherd, volume editor Jonathan Pitches). In 2016 I co-edited 'The Routledge Companion to Jacques Lecoq' with Rick Kemp.

I have recently published a book on 'Performance, Movement and the Body' (Macmillan/red Globe, 2019) and co-edited a book on 'Time and Performer Training' with Konstantinos Thomaidis and Libby Worth (Routledge, 2019).
