Viewpoints
A framework for creating dynamic and responsive performances through awareness of time and space.
Spatial Relationship
Distance between performers/objects; indicates tension or power shifts.
Tempo
Speed of movement; reveals emotional intensity or control.
Shape
The form the body takes; creates visual storytelling and emotional resonance.
Grid Walk
Actors move on an invisible grid, changing pace and direction in real-time, reacting to others' movements.
Shape Sculpting
Actors freeze into shapes that reflect their character's emotions, while others mirror or sculpt their shape.
Architectural Awareness
Actors respond to the space: furniture, doors, walls, exploring how physical constraints reflect character limitations.
Laban Movement Analysis
Helps performers define and embody the quality of movement—how it's done, not just what's done.
Weight
Strong vs. light (power or fragility).
Time (Laban)
Sudden vs. sustained (urgency vs. calm).
Flow (Laban)
Bound vs. free (repressed vs. liberated).
Effort Walks
Actors walk using different Laban Efforts (e.g., Strong + Sudden + Bound) to express emotional states physically.
Motif Gesture Expansion
Identify a character's repeated gesture and expand it across the space in different effort combinations.
Switch & Contrast
Perform the same line or scene twice: first in one Effort quality, then in its opposite to reveal new interpretations.
Focus
The alignment of Bogart's Viewpoint and Laban Effort across time, space, and expression.
