Suzuki
The Suzuki Method is a rigorous physical and vocal discipline for actors, created by renowned theater artist Tadashi Suzuki and his company. This method is designed to regain and refocus the perceptive abilities and powers of the human body. Drawing on a unique combination of traditional and innovative forms, the training strives to restore the wholeness of the body as a tool of theatrical expression.
Viewpoints
Viewpoints is a technique of improvisation first articulated by choreographer Mary Overlie who broke down the two dominant issues performers deal with – time and space – into six categories hence the name, Six Viewpoints. Her work represents a non-hierarchical post-modern approach to theater training. Since then, Artistic Director Anne Bogart and SITI Company have adapted the Viewpoints to serve as a basis for their training. Viewpoints allows a group of actors to function together spontaneously and intuitively and to generate bold, theatrical work quickly. It develops flexibility, articulation and strength in movement and speaking, and makes ensemble playing a reality.
