The Viewpoints Book: A Practical Guide to Viewpoints and Composition

by Anne Bogart (Author), Anne Bogart (Author), Tina Landau (Author)

Synopsis

An invaluable resource for theatre-makers, as well as for anyone with an interest in collaboration and the creative process, whether in art, business or daily life. Over the last twenty years, Viewpoints has ignited the imaginations of choreographers, actors, directors, designers, dramaturgs and writers. It is taught all over the world and used by countless theatre-makers in the rehearsal process to develop flexibility, articulation and strength in movement, and to enrich ensemble playing. In The Viewpoints Book, first published in the United States, acclaimed theatre directors Anne Bogart and Tina Landau introduce the history, terminology and philosophy of Viewpoints, and offer a step-by-step recipe for using it as both a training tool and a rehearsal technique. 'Viewpoints is timeless - a system belonging to the natural principles of movement, time and space. It is a philosophy translated into a technique for training performers, building ensemble, and creating movement for the stage.' Anne Bogart and Tina Landau
