Richard Maxwell Project

Hey Everyone,

 

I like some of the points that have come up as a result of Monday's lesson - particularly Laura's point about studying something that challenges our preconceived notions of Theatre. I'd also like to say just how helpful and effective I too found the 3rd person 'stage directions' to be. I think as a group we have uncovered something that is going to play a critical role not only in our understanding of Maxwell's style but in establishing our technique when it comes to performing in the aforementioned style.

 

Watching Caveman left me feeling that I've now reached a point where I've grasped and am comfortable with the concept of The New York Players and their performance style so I can now focus on how we as a group can work towards performing using that same concept.
