3 Workshop content Suzuki method Developed by internationally acclaimed director, Tadashi Suzuki and the Suzuki Company of Toga, the Suzuki Actor Training Method's principle concern is with restoring the wholeness of the human body to the theatrical context and uncovering the actor's innate expressive abilities. A rigorous physical discipline drawn from such diverse influences as ballet, traditional Japanese and Greek theater and martial arts, the training seeks to heighten the actor's emotional and physical power and commitment to each moment on the stage. Attention is on the lower body and a vocabulary of footwork, sharpening the actor's breath control and concentration. Viewpoints The Viewpoints is a technique of improvisation that grew out of the post-modern dance world. It was first articulated by choreographer Mary Overlie who broke down the two dominant issues performers deal with - time and space - into six categories. She called her approach the Six Viewpoints. Since that time, Artistic Director Anne Bogart and SITI Company have expanded her notions and adapted them for actors. The 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 makes ensemble playing really possible. Butoh Created during the same generation as the Suzuki Acting Technique, Japanese Butoh is an imagistic neo-expressionistic dance form that explores the concept of the body in crisis. Images are introduced and layered for the practitioner to embody internally and then to manifest externally. Feldenkrais Feldenkrais method is a somatic educational system of gentle movements that promote flexibility, coordination and self-awareness. Thus, the interaction between movement, thinking and feelings is deeply perceived.
