Jerzy Grotowski was a theorist who has dramatically
changed the approach of theatre today. His idea of minimizing the gap between
audience and performer has heightened stage work. He had a simpler approach to
theatre. This was refreshing as most directors, actors and writers in theatre
get distracted by lighting and sound. If you pull back on these elements you
get a clear sound and movement coming directly from the actor him/herself. I
found myself being drawn to Grotowski as a theorist because he had such a
simple idea yet nobody had thought of it before. I do prefer the work of
Grotowski and trying to stray from his ideas and accept those of others was
something I had to do. I think that applying the work I have learnt from
Grotowski and then applying it to other theorists’ ideas is going to give me a
heightened attitude towards vocal work.
