| Anne Bogart's fingerprints are all over Mays, and that's going to annoy some and please others. Regarding putting a stage show on film, in the first instance, it is NEVER as good as the real thing. Having said that, it is also impossible to say in the abstract whether the filming of THIS performance gets in the way of the live show or not. I will say that when a live show depends, as I assume this one does, on quick changes and a suspension of belief, watching it on screen has a particular deficit because screen audiences do not have the same things to marvel at: watching something filmed we are conditioned to expect an editor (as well as a director). | |

| His performance in Bogart's "Culture of Desire" is still one of the greatest I've seen. | |

| indeed. Moisés really got out of his way in IAMOW, another great performance grounded in Viewpoints. [And I can't pass up repeating my favorite bit of trivia about that show: Mays's real life wife was credited as an artistic advisor.] |

| That is a little like saying "another great performance grounded in plosive consonants, diphthongs, and fricatives." Every actor uses them. Some study them. But no one escapes them. |

| I just wanted to clarify because so many people lately have described the Viewpoints as an acting technique when like speech training it is simply a technique to provide conscious control and understanding of external elements that every performer already is dealing with. No offense meant. |

| definitely no offense. I think you could say that about any method of training which I think does highlight the fact that there are no "right" answers. But you really can see Anne's imprint on Jeff. :-) | |
