Through conversations, recollections, journal entries, images, working notes, and other testimonies, the collection opens up a range of perspectives on this changing practice - both within and beyond the theatre - from the actors, artists, designers, producers, administrators, and investigators who co-created it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book spans the full period of Grotowski's career, from the 'theatre of productions' phase, through paratheatre and Theatre of Sources, to the final phase of 'Art as vehicle' following his emigration from Poland. What emerges from these narratives is a genuinely collaborative endeavour that, as Grotowski himself comments within - in a note distributed with the Laboratory Theatre's touring productions - is often mistakenly associated with 'his name and his name alone'. \u003cem\u003eVoices from Within\u003c\/em\u003e makes an important contribution to international understanding of this work, by offering a multi-vocal 'insiders' account' of the collective and individual searches, uncertainties, discoveries, and experiences that accompanied many of Grotowski's long-time creative partnerships.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis title is available in paperback and as an Open Access ebook.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Allain\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Theatre and Performance at the University of Kent.
