Physical theatre is a catch-all term used to describe any mode of performance that pursues storytelling through primarily physical means. There are several quite distinct traditions of performance which all describe themselves using the term "physical theatre", which has led to a lot of confusion as to what the definition of physical theatre actually is.
The term "Physical theatre" has been applied to performances consisting mainly of:
- Mime
- Contemporary dance
- Theatrical Clowning and other physical comedy
- Some forms of puppetry
- Theatrical Acrobatics
While performances based around all of the above could equally claim to be "Physical Theatre", the key distinguising factor is a focus on narrative, character and storytelling. However, it is often difficult to draw a distinct boundary between what is and what is not physical theatre, and distinctions are often made quite arbitrarily by critics and performing companies.
