Notes

1For instance, the work of Tadeusz Kantor, Jerzy Grotowski, Jan Fabre and the early work of Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio.

4Karoline Gritzner's recent article on formlessness and participation ‘at the limit’ within performing arts (2011) is noteworthy in this respect. It brings to the foreground a social perspective of participatory performance through the discussion of this notion.
