	History - Freedom on the Fence
		When asked in 1946 by the Polish Film Department to design posters, they agreed- but with the stipulation that the work be based on their own artistic terms, not the typical advertising clichés of the past.
		Films and other cultural events (opera, theater, circus), soon became the impetus for much of the great poster work that was done during the 50s and 60s, a period that became known as the Polish School of Poster.
		The heyday of the Polish School led by Tomaszewski was over by 1965, but a younger generation of artists worked alongside the great masters.

	Master of the Apocalyptic Stage: Josef Szajna at 80
		To celebrate his eightieth birthday, the Siemaszkowa Theater in Rzeszow opened a small museum and gallery in his honor and staged the Festival of European Classical Plays, of which he was the honorary president.
		Together, Szajna and Grotowski staged the Polish patriotic classic Acropolis, written by Stanislaw Wyspianski at the turn of the twentieth century, which became in their hands a self-critical assessment of old Poland, the dying nineteenth-century state that was never master of its destiny.
		The Stary Theater of Kraków, once the home of Wajda and Swinarski (who directed the world premiere of Peter Weiss' Marat/Sade), presented a nineteenth-century farce by Alexandro Fredro, the Polish "Feydeau," Ladies and Hussars, which was funny enough, if you like cannons and epaulettes and fainting women.

		As a result of the constantly changing political climate, the Polish theater was, from the outset, an important part of Polish life and history.
		As Braun progresses through the ages, he examines all areas of Polish theater history, its response to the various invading forces, and the attempts of a society to cling to its unique identity.
		He draws upon his first hand experiences in the Polish theater and provides the reader with an eyewitness' account of the theater milieu's struggle to survive the times of the national catastrophes, first from the Nazi and German domination from the West and then the invasion of the Soviets from the East.

	Grotowski: Igniting the Flame by Richard Gaffield-Knight
		When World War II broke out and Poland was invaded by Germany—his father was an officer in the Polish Army at that time and was later stationed in England—Emilia Grotowska and her two sons moved to Nienadówka, a peasant village about 12 miles north of Rzeszów, where they spent the rest of the war.
		The trump card for the theater, its last chance and the basic premise of the "theater of the future" or the "neo-theater," is the possibility for direct contact, togetherness, and dialogue between the stage and the audience.
		This theater was set up in early 1958 by two actors from the conventional Teatr Ziemi Opolskiej in Opole to establish a contemporary alternative in the town.

		Only Witkacy was active in any way in the theater, but in spite of his large output of plays remained a marginal figure in the country's theatrical life and abandoned the theater altogether by the early 1930s.
		Last but not least is the most specifically Polish: that of the dziady ritual of calling up dead spirits on All Souls' Eve which blurs the line between the worlds of the living and the dead and at least for Mickiewicz and much of the later Polish avant-garde the distinction between theater and ritual.
		Kantor's "theater of death" was partly devoted to the re-animation of these golems, with the director playing the role of the Rabbi of Prague.

	village voice > theater > by Stephen Nunns
		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.
		Joseph Chaikin, the Living Theater, Mabou Mines, Andrei Serban, and Richard Schechner are among many who made pilgrimages to Poland or worked with him during his visits to the U.S. But for artists under the age of 45, it's a different story.
		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.

	"poor theater" -- the wooster group at theater2k.com
		The play's title is taken from Jerzy Grotowski, the Polish theater director whose post-war (WWII) work swept the theater world of the 1960s.
		Grotowski and the Polish Laboratory theater, which he founded, developed what he called "poor theater." It eschewed fancy sets and technology, making the case instead that the actor -- the actor's body, face, and voice -- is the main tool of the theater.
		His meticulous devotion to accurately rendering each line spoken in the Polish show, and the attitudes of the Wooster actors towards the translator's labors -- he calls for the tape to be stopped at every sentence, sometimes at every phrase -- elicits more odd laughter from the audience.

	Jerzy Grotowski's Constant Prince - October 17, 1969
		The play (already a misnomer) is done in Polish and presented for only 100 spectators seated on benches in what can best be described as an operating theater.
		With all three plays, the seating and form of the theater is changed, but the audience will always be extremely close to the actors.
		I doubt greatly if you would enjoy (there is no such word in the vocabulary of Grotowski) "The Constant Prince," but you would be startled and unnerved, absorbed and involved in a kind of shock treatment.
