Train to Perform: A One Day Physical Theatre Intensive
A one-day intensive on January 17, 2015, 10am-6pm
presented by the Generic Ensemble Company and Gale Theatre Company

What: The physical theatre strategies of Suzuki Actor Training and Viewpoints as developed by Anne Bogart and the SITI Company

Who: Ideal for actors, dancers, performance artists, movement artists, physical theatre performers, directors, and drama/dance students

Suzuki Method
The Suzuki method was developed by acclaimed director Tadashi Suzuki and the Suzuki Company of Toga. The training method works to build awareness of the human body - especially its core center with a focus on breath control, concentration and footwork in an effort to heighten the actor's natural expressiveness and emotional and physical commitment to the theatre. The physicality and discipline of the method is inspired by Japanese and Greek theatre, ballet and martial arts.
 
Viewpoints
The Viewpoints is an improvisational technique largely inspired by post-modern dance and was initially developed by choreographer Mary Overlie. Her approach - the Six Viewpoints - breaks down the two dominant issues performers deal with - time and space - into six categories. Artistic Director Anne Bogart and SITI Company have expanded and adapted this approach for actors. The Viewpoints maximizes the intuitive chemistry and spontaneity within a group of actors to quickly generate bold, theatrical work. Emphasis on flexibility, articulation, and strength in movement and makes ensemble playing really possible.
