Motion Theater

Experiments with the equation of a theatrical event, remixing compositional principles of time, space, and action through the Viewpoints technique. Explores how different combinations of tempo, duration, gesture, shape, repetition, spatial relationship, architecture, and floor pattern can change what an audience experiences. Students will watch live and recorded performances, read short essays, train physically in Viewpoints, and participate in discussions. This workshop introduces students to a wide range of contemporary performance-makers and offers opportunities to create original theater pieces in a supportive environment. Enrollment is limited to 20.
