Jerzy Grotowski: Theory and Practice
F06
Jennifer Rohn
“No one else in the world, to my knowledge, no one since Stanislavski, has investigated the nature of acting, its phenomenom, its meaning, the nature and science of its mental, physical, emotional process as deeply and completely as Grotowski” —Peter Brook

In this class we will explore as actors and on our feet, the teachings and training techniques that Grotowski produced over 40 years of work in the theater. We will investigate his work starting with the Laboratory Theatre and continue through to, and include, his research at the WorkCenter in Pontedera. In addition we will be studying the work of a few of the countless theater artists for whom he was an inspiration. The work in this class will culminate in a final performance project.
