Physical theatre

A theatre practice that prioritizes movement, gesture, and the language of the body over spoken text, often using grotesque exaggeration, acrobatics, or disciplined physicality to convey character and meaning. Physical theatre recognizes that the body communicates what words cannot, and that control of one's physical instrument is as essential as vocal skill.
