I’m thrilled to be speaking at the Association for Theatre Movement Educator’s (ATME) Debut Artist-Scholar Panel, sharing my presentation “Empowering Actors Through Viewpoints” on the cross-genre potential of Anne Bogart & Tina Landau’s “Viewpoints of Space & Time.”
Here’s a handy flowchart I created back in 2018, when my MFA cohort at Dell’Arte International was devising our original tragedy, Citizens of Nowhere. It can help you determine whether the plot of a play you’re reading, writing, or devising is “simple” or “complex”, contains recognitions or reversals of various kinds, and/or otherwise conforms or diverges from some of the classic dramaturgical structures which Aristotle articulated in his Poetics.
Recently I finished reading an amazing book entitled Practice As Research in the Arts: Principles, Protocols, Pedagogies, Resistances (2013), edited by Robin Nelson. Full of global perspective; academic, yet accessible in its tone, this book is an essential read for artists interested in research or academics interested in creative practice.
