From Kalarippayattu to Beckett

Synopsis
Videotaped source material for research purposes: in August 1998, in Utrecht, Holland, Phillip Zarrilli led a two-week workshop for European actors. The group undertook daily training based on Asian martial and meditative arts, and then applied these insights to work on selected Beckett texts. This record focuses on the details of this connection and to the language Zarrilli uses to describe his project. Zarrilli is an acknowledged expert on Kalarippayattu, the South Indian martial art form, and the editor of ‘Acting (Re)Considered’.
