As a method of actor training, Viewpoints encourages us to focus on observation and movement. I reffers to six integral elements of onstage performance: space, shape, time, emotion, movement, and story.
In the video we hear in a simple way some of the most important characteristics of the Viewpoints technique.
The awareness of time and space and the possibilities of playing with these two dimensions, opens doors for the perception and generate extremely complex possibilities from extremely simple ideas.
It's quite fascinating for me the scenic power of the organically generated scenarios in the Viewpoints practice.
This video is inside of a longer playlist, in which you can access several videos about each specific aspect of the Physical viewpoints.
