Summary/Abstract: Anne Bogart, is a set of names given to principles for movement through time and space, a way to verbalize movement. Viewpoints open up new perspectives and leads to surprising conclusions. Through Viewpoints we can find inspiration, intuitive answers to questions of the play, understand aspects that are unavailable to logical thinking, open up our imagination, access our subconscious and creativity. Next to using Viewpoints for training and the elaboration of theatrical material, we can apply it to the study of classical plays, such as Shakespeare. Working with a viewpoint like expressive gesture, or with all of them in open viewpoints sessions we can work on themes, physical environments, characters, relationships, scenes or events. Viewpoints is not incompatible with other approaches on acting; on the contrary, it establishes itself as an alternative and a complementary technique.
