Spent the whole weekend participating in a workshop led by Phillip Zarrilli, based on the South Indian art of Kalarippayattu. Most of the time was spent introducing some of the forms, but the context of the workshop was the application of the art to theatre and how the skills might be employed in performance. It got me thinking. Interesting to spend a block of time just moving the body. Redirected my mind towards some martial arts ideas, which I haven’t visited for a while. Still not exactly sure where I come out on all this — need some time to assimilate.
want more?
