What is meant by physical theatre as a cross-over syle?

Physical theatre is a type of theatre that emphasizes physical movement and expression over dialogue. It often incorporates elements of dance, mime, acrobatics, and other physical disciplines. Physical theatre can be used to tell stories, express emotions, or create abstract works of art.

As a cross-over style, physical theatre blends elements of different theatrical traditions and art forms. For example, a physical theatre piece might combine elements of traditional theatre, dance, and circus arts. This cross-over approach allows physical theatre artists to create unique and innovative works of art that defy easy categorization.

Some of the most famous physical theatre companies include:

* Cirque du Soleil

* Complicite

* DV8 Physical Theatre

* Frantic Assembly

* Gecko Theatre

* Gogol's Wife

* The Wooster Group

Physical theatre is a popular form of theatre around the world and is enjoyed by audiences of all ages.
