ABSTRACT

This chapter is concerned with the other subjects in the Performance Practitioners series, deals with a set of possible exercises that students may use in order to work or train in the manner of the artist concerned. The Cricoteka archive is now housed mostly in ulica Kanonicza, where it was originally placed, and there is a branch at ulica Sienna in the flat where Kantor lived during his last years, and where he died. The rehearsal process with Kantor was much like the experience of a painter filling his canvas with images, some of which might be retained, some disregarded, some altered and extended. Andrea Cusumano aims to create works with a Kantor aesthetic, and in so doing has devised a series of exercises which might form the basis for work by students. The interest in Tadeusz Kantor's work and his creative practice has increased since his death in 1990, for which there are several reasons.
