Acting with Grotowski: Theatre as a Field for Experiencing Life"
explores the actor-director dynamic through the experience of
Zbigniew Cynkutis, one of Polish director Jerzy Grotowski s
foremost collaborators. Cynkutis s work as an actor, combined with
his later work as a director and theatre manager, gave him a

approaches to warming up, rehearsing and creating work from a
physical starting point, beautifully illustrated by Bill
Ireland.

range of subjects theatre and culture, improvisation, ethics, group
dynamics, and Cynkutis s vision for the Wroc aw Second Studio. It
contains visual and textual materials from Cynkutis s own private
archive, such as diary entries and letters. "Acting with Grotowski
"demonstrates the thin line that separates life and art when an
artist works with extreme commitment in testing political and
social conditions."
