Viewpoints Master Class with Lauren Flanigan, Soprano
-
Viewpoints is an improvisation-based technique that provides actors with a tool box and vocabulary for exploring a play through movement and gesture.
Originally developed in the 1970s by choreographer Mary Overlie, the Viewpoints method was adapted for actors by director Anne Bogart and playwright-director Tina Landau.
Soprano Lauren Flanigan has firmly established herself as a unique musical presence in the world today.
She is one of the leading interpreters of the early operas of Verdi and has been featured on the telecast “Live from Lincoln Center” in performances of I Lombardi (opposite Luciano Pavarotti), The Richard Tucker Gala, Lizzie Borden and Central Park, which was written for her.
Her diverse concert repertoire has included Chants d’Auvergne and Il Signor Bruschino with Orpheus, Epiphanies, Mahler’s Eighth Symphony, Philomel, Cantata para America Magica, Salome with Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony, and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony.
- Ticket prices are:
