Viewpoints and Composition workshop with Ellen Lauren and Will Bond founding members of SITI Company
SCROLL DOWN FOR ENGLISH!
Az egyhetes műhelymunka alatt a résztvevők a Viewpoints és a Kompozíció alapjait sajátíthatják el és gyakorolhatják. A Viewpoints egy improvizációs technikába ültetett filozófia, amely a posztmodern tánc és előadóművészet világában jött lettre. A Viewpoints lehetővé teszi az alkotók számára, hogy spontán módon és intuitíven alkossanak együtt, valamint elősegíti a csoportdinamika fejlődését, és az egyén érzékenyítését a színpadi munka során. A Kompozíció, mint ezt kiegészítő gyakorlat, a Viewpoints által felfedezett eszközöket segít gyakorlatba ültetni. Az alkotók ezáltal lehetőséget kapnak, hogy felhasználják a próba és a színházcsinálás során azokat a képességeket és eszközöket, amiket a napi tréning során szereztek.

About the workshop:
During the week-long workshop, participants will be able to study and practice the basics of Viewpoints and Composition. The Viewpoints is a philosophy of improvisation developed by Mary Overlie that grew from her experimentation and research into the nature of performance. The language of the Viewpoints allows artists to create together spontaneously and intuitively. It fosters a sense of ensemble as well as deepens the individual’s sensitivity while onstage. It is the practice of noticing, being and response. As a complementary practice, Composition is a way of putting the Viewpoints study into immediate practice. Artists are given a chance to apply the skills and vocabulary learned in the daily training to the demands of rehearsal and theater making.

The Viewpoints training:
Originally developed by the remarkable late artist Mary Overlie, the Viewpoints is a philosophy of improvisation that grew out of the postmodern dance and performing art world. Through deep personal research and practice, Ms. Overlie discovered what came to be understood as six essential “materials'' of deconstructed theater - The Six Viewpoints. Working directly with these materials, the theater artist begins to learn ways of entering performance practice unique to their own intelligence and curiosity (www.sixviewpoints.com). SITI Company (www.siti.org) has continued to research and practice, and adapt these notions. The language of the Viewpoints allows artists to create together spontaneously and intuitively.

The Composition work:
Composition is the study of creating original theatre works very quickly in accordance with a set of parameters and requirements. The objective is to work with fundamental principles of collaborative theatre making and performance within a very short time-frame. It is a way of generating images and theatrical ideas and testing possible approaches to a play or concept. Each composition class centers on a theme or specific text, exploring the contemporary possibilities and historical problems of existing material.
