Budil theatre school

Information about organisation

The Budil Theatre School is the only school in the Czech Republic based on the principles of the Jacques Lecoq method. Since 2007, the school opens its door to dramatic art through a method that is recognized throughout the world in theater, dance and film.

The Jacques Lecoq method offers new ways both in the field of acting and in other creative disciplines (stage design, dramaturgy, directing, choreography and others). This method accents the play and drama. It helps professionals relieve the stereotype of the acting style. It moves the limits of physical possibilities.

A comprehensive study leads to the individual development of each artist - and at the same time forms a creative team. Our students are annually accepted to study at various faculties of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague including foreign schools and continue their work here and abroad.

The Jacques Lecoq method is founded on the dynamics of movement. It employs the body as the first element, which recognizes the world through live imitation of all which moves from life to theatre. The study applies basic movement rules to dramatic work and actors’ interpretation. It studies theatre styles developed in the history of theatre and reinterprets them into a study of perception of present life. The teaching becomes a living support for the student – which overcomes forms – in accordance with the constant rhythm of life.

The school searches for human integrity through various styles, games, views, languages. The training becomes a two year journey and sets the students obstacles thus provoking creative quality, and this way helps to develop and find their own path.

ATTENTION:

The Jacques Lecoq method is taught under recommendation of the L'École Internationale de Théâtre Jacques Lecoq!
