Anne Bogart (originator of Viewpoints) says Viewpoints teaches us possibility.
It helps us recognize the limitations we impose on ourselves and our art by habitually submitting to a presumed absolute authority, be it the text, the director, the teacher. Viewpoints frees us from the statement: "My character would never do that." In Viewpoints, there is no good or bad, right or wrong—there is only possibility. You are no longer bound by unconsciousness. It awakens all our senses, making it clear how much and how often we live only in our heads and see only through our eyes. Through Viewpoints, we learn to listen with our entire bodies and see with a sixth sense. We receive information from levels we were not even aware existed, and begin to communicate back with equal depth. There are nine viewpoints of time and by their nature, they encourage more risk-taking and bolder choices in acting that are not confined by any particular expectations or a strict process. Through the improvised exploration of Viewpoints, artistic discovery is possible. These Viewpoints are timeless and belong to the natural principles of movement, time and space.
