I dreamed with the day Jerzy Grotowski and Eugenio Barba open their archives to the Internet. Grotowski died and we don't know exactly what his heirs (as closed as Grotowski was with social contact) think about it, but Eugenio and the Odin Teatret have opened (since Septmeber 2009) their visual archives and built a Youtube channel. Fantastic!
Now we can go to Youtube and watch historic images of their performances, researches and friends, videos of their different trainings, of their evolution through 35 years, videos about the International School of Theatre Anthropology (ISTA) and so on. They upload videos almost every day (till now the channel has 73 videos), so you can subscribe to the channel and be up to the day on Odin archives.
Here some videos from the Odin Theatre Archives channel:
I, as theatre practitioner and follower of new kinds of theatre, appreciate this tremendous gesture of kindness and partnership with all the art world.
So, go and visit this channel, it will be a good idea to expand the news.
