Description

Jerzy Grotowski's long and complex career is presented in this comprehensive sourcebook. Edited by leading experts Lisa Wolford and Richard Schechner, it brings together key writings from performance theorists who worked with Grotowski, as well as his own work and an interview with his collaborator Thomas Richards. The book features a wide range of material, including essays on Grotowski's 'theatre of production', 'objective drama' and 'art as vehicle', alongside photographs documenting his work. A historical-critical study by Richard Schechner rounds out the collection, providing valuable insights into Grotowski's life and artistic development. This sourcebook is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding Grotowski's contributions to performance theory and practice.
