THE PREVALENCE OF EXPERIMENTATION BETWEEN RENEWAL AND TRADITION; THE TRILOGY OF ACTOR-SPACE-AUDIENCE FROM JACQUES COPEAU TO PETER BROOK
Open accessAbstract
The article frames theatrical experimentation through the trilogy actor-space-audience from Jacques Copeau to Peter Brook.
Overview
AI snapshot
Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This article traces experimental currents in modern Western theatre through the changing relationship among actor, performance space, and audience, from Jacques Copeau to Peter Brook. It argues that renewal and tradition coexist in these experiments and that experimentation remains theoretically unsettled.
Key findings
- The paper follows a lineage of experimentation: Copeau’s renewal against Antoine’s method, Artaud’s alternative spaces and Theater of Cruelty, Vilar’s popular theatre and Avignon Festival, Grotowski’s poor theatre, and Brook’s empty space.
- Copeau emphasized simplicity and purity, reduced set design, fixed architecture with changing details, and an open, unroofed performance space intended to keep attention on the actor.
- Artaud sought to remove the separation between stage and auditorium, proposed warehouse or garage-like spaces, and prioritized movement, lighting, and ritual over text; his Theater of Cruelty is dated to 1933.
- Grotowski’s laboratory theatre designed a new space for each production and limited audiences to no more than twenty spectators per performance; Brook rejected “dead theatre” and pursued intimate actor–spectator encounters in empty space.
- The conclusion states that experimentation in theatre has not completed its theoretical chapters and lacks a fixed definition.
Methods
- Theoretical and historical-critical study rather than empirical research; it synthesizes writings by and about selected directors and secondary scholarship.
- Examines European directors from Copeau through Peter Brook, focusing on the actor–space–audience triad.
- Analysis is comparative and descriptive, drawing on cited books and articles; no sample, dataset, or statistical procedure is reported.
Limitations
- Stated in the paper: there is no absolute agreement on a fixed definition of experimental theatre, and its theoretical formulation remains incomplete and may never be completed.
- Evident from the text: the study offers no empirical data, audience reception evidence, or systematic coding; it relies on secondary sources and translations.
- Evident from the text: the selection of directors is selective and centered on male European pioneers, and the claims are not tested against counterexamples or non-Western traditions.

Grotowski's view of theater as a collection of arts conflicts across passages
MinorThe quoted passage says the actor-spectator relationship does not change the conception of theater as a collection of creative arts. The paper then says Grotowski rejects that very conception in his laboratory theater.
“It does not change our conception of theater as a collection of various creative arts such as literature, sculpture, painting, architecture, lighting, and acting (under the direction of a director).”
“Grotowski rejects within the laboratory theater the idea of theater as a collection of different creative arts, which relies on artistic theft and is known as "total theater".”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
