Extract

There are recurring themes in Zarrilli's long career of writing about the processes of performance, and his most recent book (Toward) A Phenomenology of Acting (2020) brings together these concerns in what could be seen as a culmination of his life's work – dissolving the boundaries between the studio, the stage and the theorization of these processes. We could look briefly over the entirety of his written contribution to theatre research – from his meticulous studies of kalaripayattu and kathakali dance drama, to his groundbreaking edited collection Acting (Re)considered and the innovative co-authored Theatre Histories to his monograph Psychophysical Acting (which won the ATHE Outstanding Book of the Year Award), as well as numerous other reflections on training and performance.
