Jennifer Barclay explains The Viewpoints to a group of eager Andy's kids.
On July 1st, Andy's was graced with the presence of Jennifer Barclay, a current resident of MacDowell Colony. Barclay donated her expertise to the Andy's community by leading a Viewpoints Workshop in which students explored the physical lives of their bodies on stage through the nine Viewpoints: shape, gesture, repetition, topography, kinesthetic response, tempo, duration, spatial relationship, and architecture.
