In class these past couple weeks, I learned so much about viewpoints. Before doing this class I had no idea what viewpoints were and how deep you could dive into one single movement. My favorite aspect of this whole experience was the layering of the process. The concept of starting with something so simple and adding bits and pieces to create something so amazing is absolutely incredible.
Starting with tempo and duration I thought that it was very similar to stuff that I had done before. The gridlines as well as speed were things I was familiar with and while it was nice to start in a comfortable place, I couldn't wait to start learning new things. We soon moved to kinesthetic response and spacial awareness. Both of these viewpoints I really liked. The slight addition of communication and a more physical awareness of your surroundings really changed my perspective. It allowed for me to acknowledge what others were doing with their bodies and react off of them. This also added flocking which I really enjoyed exploring. I had some really cool moments in open viewpoint where me and another student made alternate dimensional mirroring as well as unspoken conversations. These viewpoints were definitely some of my favorites.
We also worked on, topography, shape, gesture, and architecture. Topography really opened up a door for me. As a person who really likes to explore levels, topography helped a lot. I found that most of my movements changed drastically when brought up or down. Especially the emotion behind my movements. I also absolutely loved shape. Because I do aerial circus, exploring shape is something I do all the time except in the air. Moving all those shapes to the ground was super explorative and interesting. Furthering to add architecture was definitely difficult. I had a very hard time separating my movement from the physical objects. Overall, I really enjoyed viewpoints and I would to explore it more.
