	Jerzy Grotowski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jerzy Grotowski (August 11, 1933 - January 14, 1999) was a Polish theatre director and a leading figure of theatrical avant garde of the 20th century.
		Grotowski was born in Rzeszów in Poland and lived until the age of six in Przemyśl.
		Grotowski revolutionized theatre, and, along with his pupil, Eugenio Barba, leader and founder of Odin Teatret, is considered a father of contemporary theatre.

	Jerzy Grotowski Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Jerzy Grotowski (1933-1999) was the founder of the Laboratory Theatre in Wroclaw, Poland, an experimental theater in which attention is focused almost exclusively on the actor and his/her message, rather than on such props as costumes, music, and makeup, which were eliminated.
		Jerzy Grotowski was born August 11, 1933, in Rzeszow, Poland.
		The actor is vitally important because, according to Grotowski, the myth is incarnate in him, and through his actions, speech, wails, and gestures he stimulates the audience to confront the truth of the myth for themselves.

	Grotowski
		Grotowski's art assumes that man is moral in that he has an intrinsic concern for their well-being of his fellow man. Artaud, on the other hand, assumes that man is innately selfish to the point of harming others to satisfy his lusts.
		As with Grotowski, Artaud wants his actors to be thoroughly convincing, but the response he wants from his actors is empathy with the monstrous Count, not pity for his victimized daughter, at least until she too becomes brutal in her revenge.
		Similarly, with Arkropolis, Grotowski forces the audience to consider whether or not the promise of salvation in Christianity is a dangerous illusion.

	Polish culture: Jerzy Grotowski
		Grotowski was born in 1933 in the city of Rzeszow in southeastern Poland and died in 1999 in Pontedera, Italy.
		Grotowski went on building his own "program," conducting in depth research into the relationship between the stage and audience and, consequently, between the actor and the audience.
		In Grotowski's terminology, the actor allows a role to 'penetrate' him; at first he is all obstacle to it, but by constant work he acquires technical mastery over his physical and psychic means by which he can allow the barriers to drop.

		The occasion was solemn and sad but not depressing; in fact, in remembering Grotowski, a magical personality and a brilliant genius, was to remember something of the past, and to remember the history of the theatrical renaissance of the sixties, a time when Grotowski and the rest of the avant garde theater flourished.
		Grotowski, his company, and his philosophy and acting methods took hold, and was destined to change traditional concepts of the theater.
		Both were intimately involved with Grotowski from the beginning and before Chiquita Gregory died, she made an amazing film of Grotowski's work in Pontedera that illustrated what Grotowski and his protegee, Thomas Richards, were searching for.

		Mario Biagini, Associate Director of “Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards” (Pontedera, Italy) has been a central contributor to the practical research of the Workcenter for twenty years, arriving to the Pontedera research center at its founding in 1986.
		Earlier, in 1997 and 1998, without interrupting his participation in Workcenter research, Mario Biagini assisted Jerzy Grotowski in the preparation of lessons and conferences for the Collège de France.
		Beginning relatively early in his residency at the Workcenter, Biagini was entrusted by Grotowski with significant artisanal and pedagogical responsibilities, leading one of three working groups active during the Workcenter’s early years and guiding development of a large-scale performative structure referred to as “Macro Version,” rooted in narrative motifs drawn from Gnostic literature.

		After witnessing Grotowski's troupe of actors being overwhelmed by the exercises, dances, and motions that they were induced to practice and explore, Kott asked Grotowski if he had any documentation of this work.
		"What for?", Grotowski replied: "The only lasting imprint is made on memory."1 The memory Grotowski has in mind is both the physical memory instilled within the actor's body which enables the performance of a certain role, and the memory of the spectator who experiences the performance.

		This book is bound to become a standard work on acting as it explains in clear and consice detail how Grotowski applied his technique to the pratical work of acting.
		As a bonus, the book bridges the gap between traditional Stanislavski method and physically-based acting, by showing how Grotowski's work is in continuation of the Method, not in oppostion to it.

		When theatrical visionary Jerzy Grotowski died last month at 65, he left a long and distinguished legacy.
		For a generation of experimental theater artists who came of age in the '60s and '70s, the importance of Grotowski's work and teachings is undeniable.
		Their connection to Grotowski is second- or thirdhand: Maybe they were exposed to his teaching methods in an undergraduate theater course— remember the infamous cat-stretch exercise?— or heard André Gregory's rather bizarre account of one of the director's later "paratheatrical encounters" in a Polish forest in the film My Dinner With André.
