Testimonials from participants on the 3day Viewpoints & Creative Composition Workshop held in Space 54, Smithfield, Dublin 7 on June 9th, 10 & 11th 2010.
Co-Facilitated by Aoife Connolly and Andrea Scott.
Great facilitators, great space. Nice balance between feedback, free jams, focused exercises and composition. I think this work reveals itself. Helpful with my freelance drama facilitation and directing shows with the youth theatre, also helpful in devising pieces and physicalising text”.Aine Caulfield – Drama Facilitator
“Very well structured, allowing a clearly staged progression for participants. Highlights included training of kinetic memory, sensitivity to group work, expansion of spatial and temporal awareness; and freeing up of physicality and physical connection”. Duncan Keegan – Actor
The workshops helped me become ‘in tune’ with my own energy/ movement – a form of expression that encourages movement that is unselfconscious. The setting is perfect. The group also taught me so much… The work is challenging but the intensity is fruitful.” Caroline Lynch – Teacher
I really enjoyed the course. Being vocally present in my entire body, becoming aware of all vocal dynamics rather than simply the emotional element. I love Viewpoints! ” Eimear Lindsay – Actor
The workshop was of real value to my teaching work …. Helps to take focus off language, creates an awareness of group dynamics and reduce nerves and self consciousness. Performance techniques are helpful to singing also. I learnt alot about physical awareness, movement and attention. Great feeling of mindfulness and presence.” Charlotte Rush – Teacher
