Narration Conducive To Books Towards a Poor Theatre
In 1950s Poland, Grototwski pioneered the idea of a theatre laboratory as a place where theatre happens through a process of experimentation. This book reveals his experiments as a crux between what we see in contemporary theatre and the rich traditions of theatrical forms from all over the world. From the standpoint of the über-globalized 21st century reader, these experiments may seem less than novel—contemporary theatre and the yoga class happening down the street have a lot in common with what's going on in this book. But given the setting of Grotowski's work (post-war, Eastern Bloc Poland) the title of this book clues us in on the tools that he had. Whereas Brecht sensationalized the concept of "poor theatre" in his Threepenny Opera, Grotowski & Co. lived it. We're talking towards a poor theatre—who could spare the three pennies to even see it? Lucky for me my roomie had this book. Now I have three pennies to spend at the theater.Specify Books In Pursuance Of Towards a Poor Theatre

If you have ever seen the film "My Dinner With Andre", there is a part where Andre describes taking part in one of Grotowski's theater experiences, which had a profound effect on him. While Grotowski's Poor Theatre may seem dated now it was revolutionary stuff at the time.

Outstanding read! Over time, Grotowski has developed this almost mythological mystique as an experimental theatre artist; consequently, many view his theories and techniques with dubiousness and reserve. "Sure, it worked for the Teatr Labortorium, but how the hell can I apply this stuff to my production of 'Guys and Dolls?'"True, what Grot. and Co. developed through their remarkably empirical studies of the actor's craft are largely unrepeatable. Well, the productions, that is. But it seems that
Essential topic, but so much theatrical writing is pseudo-philosophy that it makes the reading a slog. Brock's Empty Space covers the topic in a much better way.
This book had many beautiful pearls of wisdom for anyone interested in theatre. Grotowski is an inspiration for anyone who believes in theatre just as an artform in general. I believe every aspiring actor should read Grotowski's ten things: the final chapter of this book.However, if you are not into theatre you will.not.enjoy.this. there were some chapters I skimmed over because it was just lists of exercises that Grotowski did and no matter how interesting a list can be, I don't want to read a
