Abstract
abstract: Text often feels irrelevant in the performances of the German freie Szene, or free-scene, which, in contrast to the country’s state-supported repertory theatre system, enables rehearsal processes that do not begin with plays. Taking seriously the literary aspects of the apparently meaningless texts of the free-scene and engaging with W. B. Worthen, Hans-Thies Lehmann, Joseph Roach, and Diana Taylor, the article proposes that we distinguish between “playtexts” and “kinetic texts.” Kinetic texts – texts in motion – neither represent performance, nor encourage representation in theatrical presentations. They consist of what is generally considered superfluous to a text: marginalia, commentary, interruptions. Using the kinetic text concept, the author examines three performances from the free-scene, by She She Pop, Showcase Beat Le Mot, and Gob Squad. With particular focus on Alles [Everything] (2011) by Showcase Beat Le Mot, the article shows how text is essential to the experience of the performance, finding poetry where we assume there is none. Finally, the article investigates the practical and political problems in trying to print kinetic texts.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
