Monica and the Polish Extravaganza

I am traveling through the great land of Poland. On bike. I began this adventure in hopes to discover the story of grandfather, Leonidas Dudarov Ossetynski, a great director, writer, actor, creator in the avant garde theater movement and deepen my connection to my Polish roots.I will perform street theater along the way and camp out under the stars. I will seek out the burning embers of Grotowski's theater and my family history. On my bike I will bring two sets of clothing, one dress just in case, a mini accordion, various tools, camping supplies, peanut butter, a small DV camera to record the stories and adventures and some courage.I will travel from March 20th until the end of April and will see what I will see.Please contact me if you have connections in Poland, a floor to sleep on, a theater I should see, a story I should hear. My trip is flexible and open to the chance encounters along the way. I want to be seeped in the richness of Polish culture and be part of the celebration of Spring pouring out across the fields. Any and all help is appreciated.
