In his extraordinary essay ‘The Metaphysical Studio’, Phillip Zarrilli advocated for the actor's psychophysical exploration of risky uncertainties and unknown possibilities in the ‘spatio-temporal realm between presence and absence, between “what is” and “what is not” – this liminal realm between’. It was typical of Zarrilli that when he received confirmation that his cancer had returned for the third and final time, he both responded pragmatically and perceived the experience as a philosophically interesting inhabitation of ‘that liminal place between’. Just as ‘The Metaphysical Studio’ emphasizes the actor's investigation of ‘the relationship between that “self” and “others” – the other “selves” that inhabit me; those I might wish to inhabit; the other as “Character”; the interpersonal you-as-other;’ it was also typical that Zarrilli sought to take care of many of the ‘others’ connected with him. These others included a sprawling global training community of students, practitioners and scholars. In a final video call alongside his life and work collaborator Kaite O'Reilly and with more than thirty-five students from around the world who had studied his intercultural performer training at the University of Exeter, Zarrilli stressed, ‘it's never about me, it's always about you’. This stress on ‘you’ was rooted in his emphasis on participants gaining ownership of the training and assimilating it into their own practice, along with a core focus on the other and the collective. During the call, Zarrilli signalled the importance of consistently working within the studio and performance space on strong interpersonal relationships, which ‘can arise when people are learning how to be generous with their energy, with what they can give, with how they can be present to each other. And again, we need more of that in the world’. It is unsurprising that those who participated in Zarrilli's training experienced how that focus on intersubjectivity developed a joyful international and intergenerational community, underpinned by politicized intentions around accessibility, generous group awareness, an ethics of care, and an ability to share the space, which could also be carried into the wider world.

“这与我无关,始终与你有关”:Zarrilli 培训空间的慷慨

在他非凡的散文《形而上学工作室》中,菲利普·扎里里提倡演员在“存在与不存在之间、“存在”与“不存在”之间的时空领域中对风险不确定性和未知可能性进行心理物理探索——这个阈值之间的境界'。Zarrilli 的典型特征是,当他第三次也是最后一次得到癌症复发的确认时,他都做出了务实的回应,并将这次经历视为“介于两者之间的临界点”的哲学上有趣的栖息地。正如《形而上学工作室》强调演员对“那个“自我”与“他者”——居住在我身上的其他“自我”之间的关系的调查;我可能希望居住的地方;另一个为“字符”;人际交往中的你作为他人;' 扎里利试图照顾许多与他有关的“其他人”也是很典型的。这些其他人包括一个由学生、从业人员和学者组成的庞大的全球培训社区。在与他的生活和工作合作者凯特·奥莱利以及来自世界各地的 35 多名在埃克塞特大学学习跨文化表演培训的学生的最后一次视频通话中,扎里利强调说,“这从来都不是关于我,而是总是关于你'。这种对“你”的压力源于他强调参与者获得培训的所有权并将其吸收到他们自己的实践中,以及对他人和集体的核心关注。在电话会议中,Zarrilli 表明了在工作室和表演空间内始终如一地工作以建立牢固的人际关系的重要性,当人们正在学习如何慷慨地利用他们的精力、他们可以给予的东西以及他们如何能够在彼此面前出现时,就会出现这种情况。再一次,我们在世界上需要更多这样的东西'。毫不奇怪,参加 Zarrilli 培训的人经历了对主体间性的关注如何发展出一个快乐的国际和代际社区,其基础是围绕可访问性、慷慨的群体意识、关怀伦理和共享空间的能力的政治意图,这可能也被带到更广阔的世界。
