About The Workshop:
Bringing together two contemporary performance practices that SITI Company has evolved through decades of path-breaking work and teaching around the world, this workshop creates a meeting point in the body�mind between the Suzuki Method and Viewpoints. The Suzuki Method offers a rigorous, vertical performance discipline, while Viewpoints cultivates intuition through a shared exploration of time and space.

Each day, participants will train rigorously in Suzuki and Viewpoints, followed by Composition-a practice of creating & layering moments in a performance through articulation of body, text and timespace revealing meaning, presence, and honesty.

The central aim of this five-day intensive is to cultivate the invisible world of performance and discover how to make the invisible visible.

About Suzuki Method of Actor Training:
The Suzuki Method is a rigorous physical and vocal discipline for performers, created by renowned theater artist Tadashi Suzuki and his company. The method is designed to regain the perceptive abilities and powers of the body/voice instrument. Drawing on a unique combination of traditional and innovative forms, the training strives to restore the wholeness of the body as a tool of theatrical expression. The training is also designed as an entry into the metaphysical invisible world of the artist. Focus, concentration, rich inner fiction and energy are measured and made visible. It is a training in presence, deepening one's relationship to the sensation of performance.
