117 pages of text and photos document Etienne Decroux, whose "knowledge of the actor's pre-expressive level, how to build up presence, and how to articulate the transformation of energy, is unequaled in Western theatre history," according to Eugenio Barba in his article entitled "The Hidden Master". Other articles by Corinne Soum, Marco de Marinis, Thomas Leabhart, Deidre Sklar and Kathryn Wylie, excerpts from two of Decroux lectures, and an interview with Maximilien Decroux.
