Grotowski, Women, and Contemporary
Performance is the recipient of the Canadian
Associa on for Theatre Research 2014 Ann
Saddlemyer Book Award Honorable Men on.
"As both a scholar and a performer herself, Magnat’s
research relies upon an interdisciplinary methodology,
combining fieldwork, ar s c collabora on with her
subjects, and the ar cula on of her embodied research
through wri ng. The result is an insigh ul account of the
work of such ar sts as Rena Mirecka, Ewa Benesz,
Katharina Seyferth, and Ang Gey Pin. This book will be a
valuable resource for scholars interested in the work of
Grotowski, Polish theatre, women theatre prac oners, as
well as those engaged in prac ce‐as‐research." ‐ Review by
Tanya Dean, TDR
As the first inves ga on of women's foremost contribu ons
to Grotowski's theatrical and post‐theatrical research, this
book is grounded in four years of mul ‐sited fieldwork
conducted in Poland, Italy, France, and Denmark. Situated
at the intersec on of performance studies, experimental
ethnography, and Indigenous research methodologies, this
explora on of the ar s c journeys and current crea ve
prac ces of key women from different cultures and
genera ons is complemented by a Documentary Film Series
created in close collabora on with these ar sts and
featured on the Routledge Performance Archive
(www.routledgeperformancearchive.com).
