Supplement: Jerzy Grotowski's Letters to Alina Obidniak(2 April 1956 – 12 February 1995)
Preface: Janusz Degler Date: March 2010 Dimensions: 220x220 mm Bound: Peperback Illustrations: 75 black and white Fragment of the book:  Theatre is an ephemeral art. The memory of its artists and their achievements lives on as long as there are people alive who remember them. But memory is imperfect and selective. That is why anything that preserves it is so precious. Alina Obidniak’s book is well-suited to serve this purpose. It contains a selection of texts, materials and miscellaneous documents that form a vibrant, mosaic-like picture of 1970s and 1980s Jelenia Gora theatre. It will be an indispensable reference for anyone interested in its history. (fragment from Janusz Degler’s Preface) Alina Obidniak was born in Krosno upon Wislok on 29 June 1931. She graduated in acting from Krakow’s State Drama School and in directing from the Moscow Film Institute and the Lodz Film School. She was director and artistic manager of the Wojciech Boguslawski Theatre in Kalisz (1964–1970) and of Jelenia Gora’s Cyprian Norwid Theatre (1973–1988; May–December 2000). Obidniak has also organized cultural events and has been an environmental activist. She initiated the International Festival of Street Theatre in Jelenia Gora, launched the Self-Development Laboratory, and heads the Centre of Culture-Forming Initiatives Association. She also conceived the idea of Karkonosze 2000: The Festival of the Mountains, a project undertaken under the auspices of Walter Schwimmer, Secretary-General of the Council of Europe. |
