Phillip Zarrilli Books

Exploring the nature of acting, Phillip Zarrilli delves into the process as a question to be examined within the studio environment. This work serves as a significant response to Jerzy Grotowski's inquiry about how actors connect with the intangible aspects of performance. Through reflection and practice, Zarrilli invites readers to consider the deeper layers of acting and its impact on both the performer and the audience.

A stimulating analysis of acting as a psychophysical phenomenon and process across cultures and disciplines. Taking an 'enactive approach' to understanding acting as a process, the authors discuss psychophysical acting and performance within the Stanislavsky lineage, in dance and devised theatre practices, and in performance in India and Japan.
