Suzuki and Viewpoints are two physical approaches to actor training. The Suzuki Method of Actor Training and the Viewpoints help performers, directors and choreographers work courageously and collaboratively onstage. Developed by Tadashi Suzuki and the SCOT Company, the Suzuki Method of Actor Training focuses on preparing the actor’s body and mind for the challenges of performing onstage. Originally articulated by Mary Overlie and later adapted by SITI Company and Anne Bogart, the Viewpoints teach performers to work articulately with time and space. Students enrolled in this course are encouraged to come ready to challenge their bodies and minds, to encounter new ideas, and to work intensively within a group setting. This course fulfills an elective requirement for Theater majors and minors.
