Description

Grotowski's Process is a passionate dialogue between progressive Polish scholarship, represented by Dariusz Kosinski, and an investigative scholarship in the American Milieu, represented by Kris Salata.

These two scholarly perspectives seek reconciliation in their interrogation and analysis of the performance-making and performer-training of one of the world's foremost formative figures in twentieth-century theatre, Jerzy Grotowski, who shattered the traditional understanding of theatrical legacy.

Grotowski's cutting-edge theatrical and post-theatrical laboratory work continues to challenge the approaches to performance-making. This book reintroduces Grotowski's main ideas in ways that are directly meaningful to contemporary theatre makers as practical investigations of the nature of performance.

The authors consult and quote from Grotowski's texts and unpublished archival documents, to explore how the actor's process was re-examined as an interdisciplinary and intercultural endeavour.
