Symposium | The Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards


For the last 13 years of his life, Grotowski worked very closely with Richards whom he called his “essential collaborator,” eventually changing the name of the Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski to include that of Richards. During those years of intense practical work, Grotowski transmitted to Richards the fruit of his lifetime research, what he called “the inner aspect of the work.” Grotowski entrusted Richards, and Mario Biagini, a key member of the Workcenter since its beginnings, as the sole legatees of his Estate, including his entire body of written work, specifying this designation as a confirmation of his “family of work.” With Richards, Biagini and André Gregory.
