‘One day I suggested that the students should arrange themselves in a circle - recalling the circus ring - and make us laugh. One after the other, they tumbled, fooled around, tried out puns, each one more fanciful than the one before, but in vain! The result was catastrophic. Our throats dried up, our stomachs tensed, it was becoming tragic. When they realised what a failure it was, they stopped improvising and went back to their seats feeling, frustrated, confused and embarrassed. It was at that point, when they saw their weaknesses, that everyone burst out laughing.’ - Jacque LeCoq, The Moving Body
