Originated by dancer/choreographer, Mary Overlie, The Six Viewpoints deconstruct the materials used in performance: space, time, shape, emotion, story, and movement, opening up their infinite possibilities. The study of the Viewpoints introduces performance makers to a clear vocabulary of materials to spark research or new perspective on their own work. 

This is a self-study course and includes 23 lessons. Each lesson stands alone. The lessons can be done in any order. The course also includes excerpts of Mary Overlie’s writing.
