Physical theatre is a general 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

Hope this helps!:)
It basically means drama without words. Hope I helped x :D

Wrong.So wrong.

Physical theatre stems from many different areas, but essentially means theatre that focuses on telling a story through the body. This does not necessarily mean that it doesn't use other elements (voice/staging.costume etc) but does mean that physicality holds a strong relevance.
