PhD Thesis: The Ecological Body ~ extracts

Grotowski

Jerzy Grotowski

My encounter with the work of Grotowski was around 1978-1981.

• an attitude to physical training as a process of 'unlearning'
  
• the actor- in- flow as a creative source and channel for transformation
  
• attention to the forgotten ritual function of theatre 
  
• shifts of perceptual realities through direct involvement in action 
  
• the investigation of the position of the audience as witnesses
  

These are all areas of study, inspired by my connection with the work of Grotowski, that are present throughout my current research practice.
