About the intensive:

PETE’s fall intensive offers 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. We will also practice applying these techniques to the creation of new performance.
