ABSTRACT

The choreographer Mary Overlie, the inventor of the Viewpoints, told me that early on she had considered calling the Viewpoints “Windows.” I understood immediately. Look at a specific theatrical moment through the window of space. Look at the same moment through the window of shape. Look at the moment through the window of story or the window of time. The specific window through which we look determines how we look and what we are looking for defines our particular experience of the moment.
