With regards to acting and characterization, Grotowski aimed at using the actor for most of the performance so therefore props were not essential. He employed the actors as props instead. He wanted the acting to create authenticity, which was similar to Stanislavski’s system yet more physical as he believed physicality was the key component of poor theatre.
