Viewpoints

Viewpoints is focused on storytelling using the body and movement, and I found it interesting to see the stage pictures you created outside and think about the stories they were telling.

Here is  link to the photos I took from the outdoors viewpoints session:

Here are some quotes about theater and viewpoints (from viewpoints creator Anne Bogart) to consider in your reflections:

“Innovation is made possible by the width and breadth of a person’s rummaging around the world…It is by transgressing the boundaries that separate us that we begin to find solutions to the world’s present complexities because inclusion and incorporation of “the other” creates the conditions for innovation.”

— Anne Bogart

“Limits are a necessary partner in the creative act as well as in the crafting of a successful life. What matters is the ability to look around and accurately recognize what is working for you and what is working against you, adjusting to the realities of the situation and mining the potential of the limits with invention and energy.”

— Anne Bogart

“Deep practice is slow, demanding and uncomfortable. To practice deeply is to live deliberately in a space that is uncomfortable but with the encouraging sense that progress can happen.”

— Anne Bogart

“We are debris arrangers. Equipped with what we have inherited, we try to make a life, make a living and make art. We are assemblers. We forge received parts into meaningful compositions. This state of affairs is our plight and our destiny, but it also offers the opportunity to find meaning as well as to find communion with others.”

— Anne Bogart
