WildHeart is honored to host a continuation of the rigorous and transformational physical theater training that SITI company has offered to NYC (and the world!) for more than 30 years.

With support from award funds from SITI Company itself, “SITI Emeritus Artists Barney” are entering into a period of formal mentorship for Loom Ensemble’s programming at WildHeart, beginning with this open-to-the-public opportunity to engage with Suzuki and Viewpoints training, with two of the world’s most qualified teachers of these methods.

The SUZUKI METHOD is a rigorous physical and vocal discipline which strives to restore the wholeness of the body as a tool of theatrical expression. Attention is on the lower body and a vocabulary of footwork, sharpening the actor’s breath control, concentration and commitment to each moment.

VIEWPOINTS is a technique of improvisation created by Mary Overlie that deconstructs the primary materials of performance and performance making into six primary studies: Space, Shape, Time, Emotion, Movement and Story. Studying and practicing the Viewpoints empowers the individual performer in their own creativity while also empowering a group of artists to function together spontaneously and intuitively to create dynamic theatrical experiences in the present moment.

Participants should expect physically demanding and rigorous work in a safe, supportive and nurturing environment. Please come dressed to move.
