Phenomenology invites us to listen to the things themselves to be attentive to how we sensorially kinesthetically and affectively engage with acting as a phenomenon and process. Using detailed firstperson accounts of acting across a variety of dramaturgies and performances from Beckett to newly cocreated performances to realism it provides an account of how we śdo or practice phenomenology when training performing directing or teaching. Zarrilli brings a wealth of international and intercultural experience as a director performer and teacher to this major new contribution both to the practices of acting and to :how we can reflect in depth on those practices./P>B>P>/P>/B>P>An advanced study for actors directors and teachers of acting thatB> /B>is ideal for both the training/rehearsal studio and research I>(toward) a phenomenology of acting /I>is an exciting move forward in the philosophical understanding of acting as an embodied practice.P>/P>P>List of Figures: Foreword by Evan Thompson: :Acknowledgements:/ Introduction: Acting as a process of phenomenological enquiry in the studio: 1.
