Hello ! I’m in university of ilorin Nigeria, faculty of arts, the departments of the perfoming arts,studying drama,dance&music,but determined to study music as a major course at my 3rd & final year. I was given a research on grotowski’s poor theatre and found this to be the best article which i’ve learnt a lot from. Kudos to you for this great job.

Hello;

This is my last year at the university; and as my dissertation, I have to make a research about Grotowski acting method. Apart from the resources I have, I thought I could get help from you, as well. I wold be glad if you could send any documents related to my research topic.

Thank you…

Helo, I would just like to thank you so much for this article. After approaching Grotowski’s concept ‘Poor’ Theatre I was unable to find a source that could break down his theory in a clear and concise way. Your article has done that.

Hi there, first of all thank you for such a well written bit of writing!! May i ask what the book is called that you quote from ?
“Grotowski had evolved a training method to liberate actors from psychological blocks and penetrate their inner selves, ‘surpassing limits’ and creating moments of spiritual transcendence or ‘translumination’ through self-revelation,” (Brown: p.441-442).

Thank you very much!!
