The educational line encompasses all the fields of activity of the Grotowski Institute and includes both the theoretical and the practical aspects. Practical meetings may take the form of:
  • The month-long Atelier
  • Week-long work sessions
  • One-day workshops
 

These are complemented by presentations and lectures, such as:



Additionally, the educational aspect is carried out through meetings with secondary school and university students, including:  


  • Open Doors (meetings dedicated to presenting the activity of the Grotowski Institute – taking place in October)
  • Theatre A-Grade (addressed to high school students from Wroclaw and other towns in Lower Silesia – March)
  • Exchanges of Work (work meetings taking place once every semester, which aim to establish ongoing collaboration with young researchers and independent theatre artists)

All the activities within the educational line – both practical and theoretical – are closely connected. The programme of the Institute is constructed so that workshop participants also have the opportunity to attend performances, concerts, work demonstrations, Theatre Cinema screenings and book talks. In this way, the concept of an integrated education within and through the field of art can be put into practice.

It is worth noting that the tradition of the Laboratory Theatre of Jerzy Grotowski, which combined its studio activity – comprising the training of stagiares (apprentices) – with presenting the outcomes of research in the form of performances, can serve as a model in this area.

Furthermore, the actions of the Grotowski Institute in this field may provide a counterbalance to the increasing commercialisation of higher education in Poland and the rest of Europe.
