Richard Maxwell Project

I am so glad to see that I'm not the only one who found the Richard Maxwell's desired style of acting challenging to say the least. We're surrounded mostly by a world of theatrical realism, and I had never before considered how difficult it would be to remove emotion, however keep the intonation while not sounding like a robot. I really like the idea and theory of stripping down the text as Simon said and removing the 'acting', however practically this seems incredibly problematic. I really look forward to seeing the NYC players themselves do this, I think all will become clear.

I also like Carly's point about citizenship. Oh yes, a 'quango' is 'an organization or agency that is financed by a government but that acts independently of it.'I didn't know that without looking it up, so does this mean I am not worthy of UK citizenship?

I also found it very interesting asking the citizenship test questions 'for real' as it were, and then performing them and applying Maxwell's style.
