The Work of New World Performance Laboratory
A Search for Authentic Space
Jerzy Grotowski 1933-1999
Principles of Creation in NWPL
The Actor is Architect of his/her own time/space, i.e. action
A theatre of research which operates in the craft tradition, where art is not separated from daily life.
An ecological theatre whose purpose is not to demonstrate one’s virtuosity or identity, but to penetrate one’s own humanity—to enter authentic space where “meeting” can occur.
