(Excerpt)
Grotowski knows that to learn something means to conquer it in
practice. One must learn through "doing" and not through
memorization of ideas and theories . . . the axis of this text is a
method, or better yet a practice, finally central to the work of
Stanislavski, and later developed by Grotowski: "physical actions."
Grotowski is inheritor of the mantle of Stanislavski, renowned and
revered for his radical innovation as a director, and for his
seminal manifesto "Towards a Poor Theatre,"
"At Work With Grotowski on" "Physical Actions" by Thomas Richards,
Grotowski's long-time collaborator, is the first available
statement in English of Grotowski's current working practices and
theoretical position in over twenty years.
This is Thomas Richards' inside account of his decade-long
exclusive collaboration with one of the central figures of
20th-century theatre. It reviews in jargon-free terms Grotowski's
developments since the time of "Towards a Poor Theatre,"
With the preface and concluding chapter by Grotowski himself, "At
Work With Grotowski" is not only a portrait of the master at work,
but also Grotowski's personal testimony to a life spent on the
leading edge of the theatre world.
"At Work with Grotowski on Physical Actions" will take its
rightful place alongside the dozen or so seminal theatre books of
this century. Richards' account will prove a unique resource for
actors, students, and anyone seriously interested in the best that
the theatre has to offer.
