==Bogart's and Landau's Viewpoints==

In their book, ''The Viewpoints Book: A Practical Guide to Viewpoints and Composition'' (20042005), [[Anne Bogart]] and [[Tina Landau]] identify the primary Viewpoints as those relating to '''Time''' - which are Tempo, Duration, Kinesthetic Response, and Repetition - and those relating to '''Space''' - which are Shape, Gesture, Architecture, Spatial Relationship and Topography. In addition, Bogart and Landau have added the [[Vocal]] Viewpoints which include [[Pitch (music)|Pitch]], [[Dynamics (music)|Volume]], and [[Timbre]].<ref name=BogartLandau2004/>

In the book, the authors outline the basics of the Viewpoints training they both espouse, as well as specific methods for applying their expanded practice to both rehearsals and production. For Bogart and Landau, the Viewpoints represent not only a physical technique but also a philosophical, spiritual, and aesthetic approach to many aspects of their work. Bogart references her work with the [[SITI]] company, and Landau with the [[Steppenwolf Theater Company]].
