TADEUSZ KANTOR \u2013 100 YEARS<\/strong>
\n\u2018KANTORBURY, KANTORBURY\u2019<\/strong>
\nA WORKSHOP + SYMPOSIUM IN CANTERBURY at the UNIVERSITY OF KENT<\/strong>
\nWORKSHOP 15-18th<\/sup> September <\/strong>
\nSYMPOSIUM 18-19th<\/sup> September 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The European Theatre Research Network (ETRN) at the University of Kent in Canterbury is planning a day and a half symposium for academics and the public on the life and work of Polish theatre director and visual artist Tadeusz Kantor to celebrate 100 years since his birth. ETRN is collaborating on this project with Tom Skipp, a British filmmaker from Madrid. It is funded and supported by the Institute of Adam Mickiewicz<\/a>, Warsaw, as part of their Culture.pl programme as well as the University of Kent\u2019s School of Arts, ETRN<\/a> and the Polish Cultural Institute<\/a>, London.<\/p>\n

The symposium is now open. Details of how to attend are here<\/a>. Highlights include 3 performances, 2 film screenings, one of rarely screened Kantor footage, walkabouts including Goshka Macuga\u2019s letter<\/a> (tbc), as well as 23 UK and international speakers. Richard Demarco will be our guest of honour. The symposium charge, which includes teas and coffees as well as supper on Friday and lunch and high tea on Saturday, as well as access to all screenings and performances is: \u00a350 full price, \u00a340 concession.<\/p>\n

====================================================================<\/p>\n

A workshop for a maximum of 20 people will precede the symposium, led by Bogdan\u00a0Renczy\u0144ski<\/strong>, former actor in Cricot 2, with Ma\u0142gorzata Paluch-Cybulska<\/strong>, archivist at the Cricoteka, Krakow. This will be exploring Kantor\u2019s work in practice and theory and will lead to the generation of performance work, a rare and exciting opportunity in the UK. \u00a0A few places are now open to external participants.<\/p>\n

The workshop will start at 10am on Tuesday 15th<\/sup> September and will finish on Friday 18th<\/sup> at midday. There will then be a work-in-progress showing at the symposium on the Friday evening. The fee (\u00a3110 full price, \u00a390 concession) for the workshop also includes participation in the symposium and food and drinks during it (but not during the workshop). Accommodation needs to be arranged and paid for separately by participants.<\/p>\n

See here<\/a> and here<\/a> for examples of Bogdan\u2019s work with students.<\/p>\n
