About Viewpoints
Anne Bogart's Viewpoints is a physical acting technique. It provides a framework for actors and directors to explore movement, space, time, and relationships, fostering collaboration, spontaneity, and heightened sensory awareness. Viewpoints emphasizes a non-hierarchical approach to performance, encouraging performers to respond to each other and their environment in a dynamic and intuitive way.
