Storytelling for Street Dancers: Viewpoint Acting Method

Viewpoints is a technique used in theater and dance to analyze and create movement, space, and time.
Developed by choreographer Mary Overlie and later expanded by Anne Bogart and the SITI Company.
Based on two main concepts: spatial relationship and kinesthetic response.
Spatial relationship involves examining the space around you and the relationship between the performers and the space.
Kinesthetic response is focused on the performers' response to the space and each other.
The Viewpoints method is based on six Viewpoints: Space, Time, Shape, Gesture, Movement, and Story.
Street dancers can use the Viewpoints method to create more authentic and engaging stories in their freestyle and battle training.
Exercises that street dancers can use to get started with the Viewpoints method: Space Exploration, Gesture Studies, Movement Phrases, and Storytelling Exercises.
By focusing on different Viewpoints and exploring them in different ways, street dancers can develop their improvisational skills and create more dynamic and engaging performances.
Incorporating the Viewpoints into storytelling exercises can help street dancers create more authentic and meaningful connections with their audiences.
