[Candrama] Now Open Access: Grotowski, Women, and Contemporary Performance: Meetings with Remarkable Women (Routledge 2014) by Virginie Magnat

[Magnat, Virginie]

Dear Colleagues,


I am delighted to announce that my monograph Grotowski, Women, and Contemporary Performance: Meetings with Remarkable Women (Routledge 2014) is now Open Access. This book received the Canadian Association for Theatre Research Ann Saddlemyer Book Award Honorable Mention https://www.routledge.com/Grotowski-Women-and-Contemporary-Performance-Meetings-with-Remarkable/Magnat/p/book/9781138922143

“As both a scholar and a performer herself, Magnat’s research relies upon an interdisciplinary methodology, combining fieldwork, artistic collaboration with her subjects, and the articulation of her embodied research through writing. The result is an insightful account of the work of such artists 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 practitioners, as well as those engaged in practice-as-research.” Tanya Dean, TDR


“[Magnat’s] methodology is an exquisite ethnographic balance of researcher and participant ... The volume is a comprehensive collection of the practising female Grotowski practitioners...This is a valuable body of work... the first to give full attention to the female angle of Grotowski’s legacy.” Lara Szypszak, Canadian Theatre Review



“Influenced by the fields of indigenous and feminist research methodologies and her personal contact with Cree director, performer and writer Floyd Favel, Magnat lays out an approach that stresses the necessity of abandoning the position of a distanced, objective observer of cultural material... Magnat is asking provocative and important questions, and offering access to a rich and fascinating realm of performance practice.” Brian Schultis, Studies in Theatre and Performance
