Maker and Performer Martyn Coutts will be taking workshops at CIA Studios over November and December. They begin with an introduction to the Viewpoints, a practice begun by Mary Overlie and made popular by Anne Bogart and the SITI company in New York. This practice and training methodology has a focus on the body and its presence in space and in relation to architecture and to others. This is where this process will cross over with my own research into games and game structures inside performance. The body is alive in the game, so how can games be used to bring alive performance? And also can new narratives emerge from within an open structure like a game?
Each workshop will be open and accessible for both performers and makers. Please bring water, comfortable clothes to move in and something to snack on in the break. It is free!
