The lecture concerns the events which were rooted in the countercultural
movement of the 1960s and resulted in the phenomenon of the so-called
Second Theatre Reform. It presents the activities of practitioners and
theatre theoreticians within the institutional, students and alternative
theatre of the 1970s and 1980s. The programme of the course includes
presentations of theatre theories (e.g. Poor Theatre), poetics and forms of
presentations (street theatre, theatre of movement), streams (political
theatre, feminist theatre). The lecture discusses the ways the theatre alters
the traditional model of the performance, the way of acting and the role of
an actor-performer as an initiator of changes in social and political life.
