Jerzy Grotowski: who was he?

The avant-garde acting training, staging, and performance techniques developed by Polish theatrical director and theorist Jerzy Marian Grotowski have had a significant influence on theater today. The key influences were Meyerhold, Stanislavsky, and Brecht. With the help of "paratheatre," Grotowski tested out performers in training programs and other unstaged productions. Grotowski felt the alleged "physiological resonators." He told the actors to use their necks, backs, and arms to project their voices. Then, to raise their voices, he told everyone to choose a text and play, sing, and shout it (Richards, 1995). Jerzy Grotowski, a Polish director, defines "poor theater" as the kind of performance that emphasizes the actor's body and their interaction with the audience while eschewing costumes, props, and music. Extracts from a performance of the play Evangile are interspersed throughout the interview.
