The Grotowski Institute, Wroclaw (Poland)
The Grotowski Institute combines artistic and scholarly research projects
that correspond to the challenges laid down by Jerzy Grotowski's creative practice.
The Institute emerged out of the Centre for Study of Jerzy Grotowski's Work and
for Cultural and Theatrical Research, established in 1989, and operates from the
former Teatr Laboratorium premises located in Wroclaw's Old Market Square and the
forest base of Brzezinka. The Grotowski Institute continues the lines of work established
by the Grotowski Centre, whilst placing more emphasis on education, promotion, producing,
and publishing.

TARF: Theatre Arts Researching the Foundations (Malta)
Set up in 2005 and restructured in 2007, TARF is committed to fostering research
cultures and developing links between theatre practitioners, academia, and industry.
TARF is also committed to the examination of performance through historical roots
and exchange. The events branch of TARF organised three editions of SUPA (the Summer
University of Performing Arts) in 2005, 2006, and 2007. SUPA events are focused
around specific research topics and include a full performance programme, international
workshops, exchanges of craft, and conferences. TARF's interest in laboratory-based
research is manifest in the association of its practice branch with Icarus Performance
Project (Malta) and the Theatre Studies Department of the University of Malta.
