Workshop
Examining the Materials of Performance | Series 2
A weekly workshop series for performance makers inspired by the Six Viewpoints theory and practice.
A weekly workshop series for performance makers inspired by the Six Viewpoints theory and practice.
Originated by choreographer Mary Overlie, the Six Viewpoints is a study that establishes and expands the base of performance by inquiring into the vocabulary of the basic materials that are found in the creation of all art: space, shape, time, emotion, movement and story.
Following on from the January series, we will continue to (re)discover and explore the materials and practice working within horizontal hierarchies.
These sessions are for theatre, dance and performance artists of all disciplines, including directors, designers, dramaturgs, stage managers and technicians - all welcome.
Participants can attend a single session, entire series or drop in as able. Please book your spot in advance.
No movement experience is necessary.
Please wear comfortable clothes and footwear you can move in. The space will be open and available for warm up from 10:45.
If you have any questions, please get in touch on space.shape.time@gmail.com.
