“This was the first time I put the viewpoints method into practice. In my professional life, I have tried many different methods of performance, theater and dance. Viewpoints for me are hooks for attention, it navigates my mind during the journey to the unexpected. It’s something I can hold on to, something I can lean on in my bodily improvisation. I was surprised how quickly a group of strangers came together in collective improvisation, how quickly we were able to act together, listening sensitively to each other. It was quite easy to relax and play in this space - thanks to the clearly set parameters. We were able to get a feeling of each viewpoint in more detail, but gradually improvising with more and more viewpoints. Gradually we were able to apply the viewpoints method in working with materials: visual, textual, musical and with other theatrical set components. Thank you Marina, Luciana, Sara for such a beautiful, smooth facilitation, everything was simple, clear, very bright and funny.” (January 2024)
