THTR 347 Viewpoints
The Viewpoints is an improvisational technique, which allows a group of actors to function together spontaneously and intuitively, and to generate bold, theatrical work quickly. The nine Viewpoints – four dealing with Time and five with Space – help actors develop flexibility, articulation, and strength in movement and speaking, and make ensemble playing readily available and possible. The course will follow a progression from non-textual improvisations and compositions to scripted scene study. Students will be able, then, to apply the Viewpoints to text in order to better understand character, given circumstances, action, impulse, and arc. Additional lab fee applies.
