As Thomas Richards guides us through the phases of the Workcenter’s performing arts research, interweaving analysis, screenings of film fragments and discussion, we encounter the Workcenter’s deepening of an exploration of the human being in action. The event carries us from the Workcenter’s earliest works with Grotowski to their contemporary ones, which not only embody the research’s ongoing enquiries concerning the craft of the actor/’doer’, but also seek to widen the ways in which essential aspects of the research can come in contact with individuals, cultures, and societies.
