The 6 Viewpoints or Systems(SSTEMS)

Space

  • Architecture - The physical environment, the space, and whatever belongs to it or constitutes it, including permanent and non-permanent features.
  • Spatial Relationship - Distance between objects on stage; one body in relation to another, to a group, or to the architecture.
  • Topography - The movement over landscape, floor pattern, design and colours.

Shape

  • Shape - The contour or outline of bodies in space; the shape of the body by itself, in relation to other bodies, or in relation to architecture; think of lines, curves, angles, arches all stationary or in motion.
  • Gesture - a) Behavioral gesture: realistic gesture belonging to the physical world as we observe it every day. b) Expressive gesture: abstract or symbolic gesture expressing an inner state or emotion; it is not intended as a public or "realistic" gesture.

Time

  • Tempo - How fast or slow something happens on stage.
  • Duration - How long an event occurs over time; how long a person or a group maintains a particular movement, tempo, gesture, etc. before it changes.
  • Kinesthetic Response - A spontaneous reaction to a motion that occurs outside of oneself. An instinctive response to an external stimulus. (realistic/non-realistic)
  • Repetition - a) Internal: repeating a movement done with one's own body, and b) External: repeating a movement occurring outside one's body.

Emotion

  • Psychological or narrative content ascribed to movement.

Movement

  • Movement of your body, different ways of moving - for example, jerky versus smooth/flowing versus very slowly or fast. The movement of different parts of your body.

Story

  • Perceptual ability to see and understand logic systems as an arrangement of collected information
