*Acting I: Suziki & Viewpoints*
October 12 - Nov 2, 2014
Sunday, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Ages 18 and up
Tuition, $120

This course will cover the basics of Viewpoints and Suzuki and incorporate
them into scene work with other students in this class. Appropriate for
teachers working with a company of students, directors, beginning actors
and those that have studied acting before.  This is a movement based class.

SUZUKI METHOD: Developed by internationally acclaimed director, Tadashi
Suzuki and the Suzuki Company of Toga, the Suzuki Actor Training Method's
principal concern is with restoring the wholeness of the human body to the
theatrical context and uncovering the actor's innate expressive abilities.
A rigorous physical discipline drawn from such diverse influences as
ballet, traditional Japanese and Greek theater and martial arts, the
training seeks to heighten the actor's emotional and physical power and
commitment to each moment on the stage. Attention is on the lower body and
a vocabulary of footwork, sharpening the actor's breath control and
concentration.

VIEWPOINTS: The Viewpoints is a technique of improvisation that grew out of
the post-modern dance world. It was first articulated by choreographer Mary
Overlie who broke down the two dominant issues performers deal with - time
and space - into six categories. She called her approach the Six
Viewpoints. Since that time, Artistic Director Anne Bogart and SITI Company
have expanded her notions and adapted them for actors. The Viewpoints
allows a group of actors to function together spontaneously and intuitively
and to generate bold, theatrical work quickly. It develops flexibility,
articulation, and strength in movement and makes ensemble playing really
possible.  Taught by Dane C.T. Leasure, MFA, SDC, SAC, SAF
