Viewpoints

Viewpoints is a dynamic, movement-based actor training method.  Originally created by a choreographer, Viewpoints teaches you how to make strong, unusual physical choices, connect the voice to the body, and to operate as part of a fluid ensemble.  This training is a wonderful compliment to any actor's toolbox, because it begins with the external and then travels to the internal, in contrast with many Method-based techniques.  (including Meisner!)  It's provocative and fun.  No previous Meisner or Viewpoints training necessary.
