Page 2 of 3 Up until its 76th issue, Didaskalia was affiliated with the Jagiellonian University (JU). Since March 2007 it has been published by the Grotowski Institute in Wroclaw, in collaboration with the Faculty of Polish Studies at JU. Apart from young authors, who often make their debut in the pages of Didaskalia, the journal includes the work of renowned critics and authors, not only from within theatre circles. Didaskalia also acts as a forum for discussion for creators and directors of theatre, in order to maintain a dialogue between theatre practice and theatre criticism. Among those who have written or granted interviews in Didaskalia are: Ewa Bulhak, Malgorzata Dziewulska, Ewa Miodonska-Brookes, Eugenio Barba, Jan Blonski, Jacek St. Buras, Marta Fik, Aleksander Fiut, Jerzy Jarzebski, Marek Kedzierski, Leszek Kolankiewicz, Jan Kott, Krystian Lupa, Henryk Markiewicz, Tadeusz Nyczek, Zbigniew Osinski and Maria Prussak.The journal engages with theatre performances in several ways: short, concise reviews delivered in enumerated points (in a ‘pluses and minuses’ column); a more extensive outline, together with opinions from the audience (column and survey ‘after the premiere’); interviews, which also provide analysis of a given performance. The variety of topics is complemented by a diversity of forms with which to write about theatre. The journal is addressed to a wide audience, so the editors strive for clarity and simplicity of style. Didaskalia has received numerous favourable reviews in the press. The editorial office also collaborates with many other theatre journals from across Europe (Theater heute released a special issue devoted to Polish theatre, edited by Didaskalia; editorial staff articles have been published in the Prague-based journal Disk, the Paris-based Alternatives Théâtrales, the Vilnius-based Kūlturos Barai, the Hungarian Shinhaz, and many others). The texts published in Didaskalia are also frequently translated and reprinted elsewhere.
