Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Few theatre artists since the mid-1990s have caused the stir in Manhattan's downtown theatre scene that Richard Maxwell has. The theatre productions of the thirty-four-year-old playwright, director, and composer have received a critical response that can best be compared to the initial reception of a former American theatre avant-garde. Recalling the reviews of early performances by Jack Smith, Richard Foreman, and Robert Wilson in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Maxwell's productions have either been attacked or praised for their anti-theatricality - or what critics have called their "flattened acting style", "theatricality in the mundane”, or "school of inexpressiveness". Nonetheless, there can be little doubt that Maxwell is one of the most innovative theatre artists of his generation. His unique vision has been recognized both nationally and internationally: for his play House, which premiered in New York in June 1998, Maxwell was awarded a Village Voice OBIE the following year; his work has also won critical acclaim in Europe, where House (and the subsequent productions Showy Lady Slipper and Caveman) recently toured major theatre festivals. House will also feature prominently in the following pages, which examine the place of domesticity in Max well's theatre.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
