Six Viewpoints Process Weekend
This workshop has been canceled, sorry for the inconvenience.
Deborah Black is a dance theatre artist, writer, and teacher.
Deborah’s teaching and performance practice is informed by the meeting of dance and theatre and includes Six Viewpoints improvisation, Grotowski, Floor Barre, and postmodern philosophy.
The further intersection of her writing and physical practice is supported through a collaboration with poet Alyson Hallett and poet/mover Scott Thurston. She was able to develop her interdisciplinary approach as a 2022 Gardarev Artist-in-Residence.
She is the founder and facilitator of an on-line community of artists studying and researching the Six Viewpoints and is one of the four stewards of Mary Overlie’s Legacy Project. She and Sophia Treanor recently premiered a dance theatre duet left for them by Mary Overlie before her passing in 2020. This project is supported by the Harold Clurman Center for New work in Movement and Dance Theater and had its North American premiere in June, 2023.
Deborah is currently a Master’s student in the Dance Education Program at NYU and recently taught an advanced curriculum course at Queens College. Previously, she taught physical theatre and dance at the Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Tilburg. She taught guest and master classes at Goldsmith’s University London, NYU’s Experimental Theatre Wing, Drama Studio London, Capilano University, Ohio University, Skidmore College, Rowan University, James Madison University, University of South Florida, as well as private workshops in New York City and all across Europe.
