Viewpoints with Adam Marple

Service Description

Unlock the power of stage movement and elevate your acting skills in an immersive Viewpoints workshop. Actors often find themselves at the mercy of directors when it comes to staging decisions. You focus on perfecting your voice, gestures, and emotions, while the placement and movement of characters on stage remain beyond your control. However, the truth is that actors play a crucial role in shaping the life of a scene through staging choices. It's time to realize that you have the power to make decisions that support your acting and enhance the overall performance. In this transformative workshop, you will be introduced to the tool of The Viewpoints, enabling you to embody the space and time of the performance event like never before. By embracing The Viewpoints, you will become adept at inventing stage movement for yourself. Through deep exploration, you will develop a heightened awareness of the entire stage picture. With The Viewpoints, you can actively create movement that fulfils all these purposes and adds depth to your performance. A Viewpoint-trained actor possesses the ability to sense how the movements of others on stage impact the overall space. This heightened sensitivity allows you to adjust your position on stage, rebalancing the composition and creating harmony. This serves multiple purposes: it directs the audience's attention, creates visual clarity, and expresses the evolving relationships between characters. Similar to a jazz musician who takes responsibility for the composition of a piece of music, you will react to each new rhythm and change of energy on stage, discovering how your character's movements can complement those of your fellow performers. In this workshop, we invite you to take ownership of the stage composition and embrace the collaborative art of performance. Through hands-on exercises, group dynamics, and individual exploration, you will tap into your creative instincts and develop a deep understanding of the intricate relationship between acting and staging. These sessions are taught and facilitated by Adam Marple.
