Patryk Czaplicki

Theatre critic and English language translator. Co-originator and editor of The Rehearsal. Irregular Theatre Journal. Performer, fringe theatre actor and reciter. Award winner of all-Poland dramatic intepretation contests. 4th year student at Drama and Theatre Arts Department at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna (Masters studies).
As a runaway from State Acting and Puppet School, Patryk Czaplicki decided to explore less conventional and obvious acting techniques and focused on experimental and fringe theatre. He trained in physical acting (Travel Agency Theatre, Poland), traditional techniques (commedia dell’arte, master: Giovanni Pampiglione), and dance theatre (maestra: Liliana Owoc- Pierzchala). Patryk Czaplicki considers extensive physical presence on stage to be the key to focused ‘here and now’ open and free acting.
