Course Description
Viewpoints is used to create dynamic moments of theatre by simply existing on the stage. However, Viewpoints is more than
just an acting technique to understand your own physicality and more than a directing technique to create “ah-ha!” moments
on stage. It is first and foremost the philosophy that to create an organic performance, you must see obstacle as opportunity,
and that by simply standing in space, your creativity can spark.

This course by Erin Carr will help your students discover fresh impulses that motivate their performance in the moment. We
will go through the Viewpoints technique, as created by Mary Overlie, and learn how to tap into kinesthetic awareness as
individuals and as an ensemble. Through this style of play, students learn to release their thoughts on what they “should” do,
and instead just respond organically to their surroundings and ensemble!

We’re going to break down each of the Viewpoints, there’s lots of visual demonstration, so you can see each Viewpoint in
action, and I’m going to provide tips and side coaching examples.
