Suzuki/Viewpoints Fall intensive 2024

Join us for our 2024 Fall Suzuki/Viewpoints Intensive, running Monday-Thursday, 9am-1pm this September 16-26. Week 1 will cover the fundamentals of both trainings and Week 2 will dive deeper into their application in performance.

About the intensive:

PETE’s intensives offer a thorough grounding in Anne Bogart’s 9 Viewpoints and the Suzuki method of training. These complementary techniques train the body, voice, perception, and creativity of the performing artist, and this intensive will give participants a strong grounding in the fundamentals of these trainings and how they can be applied to use in contemporary performance. Throughout the course of the training we investigate how these trainings can serve individuals and ensembles of performing artists today. The intensive also includes courses in PETE’s method of creating new performance.
