Description

Friday 19th May 2017 6.30-9.30pm at Sadler’s Wells.

This masterclass will offer you the opportunity to get an overview of Anne Bogart’s Viewpoints which is a powerful physical approach to contemporary theatre training. We will learn ‘The Flow’ which is the baseline many of the exercises use and then go on to explore several Viewpoints exercises which offer an opportunity to develop ensemble skills through focussed improvisation. Finally, we’ll explore Viewpoints in application and discuss how this approach can support your work as performers, movement directors and theatre makers.
